Did a second burn last night with barrel on it's side. Wire brush tonight inside and out and hopefully get the Hi-temp paint on and if time season it for an hour with no food then throw on some baby backs.

Sounds like a quick way to lose a few fingers.

This Red Powder paint aint no joke!!!! Burned from 5:00 till 11:00 last night on its side. So like I was taught as a kid...aint nothing like hard work. Brought out some 60 grit and the wire wheel. Its like the wire wheel polishes the paint....tough. Got most of it out but there are a few minor spots (my opinion) left, but not sure whats minor and whats not.

I'm thinking the barrel is good. What I haven't gotten off in two HOT, HOT burns and sanding and grinding, isn't going to come off in a 250 degree environment. And after one or two uses it (red primer) is going to be encapsulated in grease and another stuff that builds up in a cooker.

Agreed; however, I think I have found a secret. Here are some pics while in the process off getting the liner out. Dont get me wrong, Ill pay more next time (if there is a next time) so I dont have to bust my tail for a week straight of 9:00 nights getting that liner out. But it feels great that I did it and it looks so good. Seasoning it tonight and after the lard stays on for and hour or so with a 250 temp, Im gonna drop it to 220 and put on some baby backs....OH YEAH!!! Here are those pics.

Took with my phone so not the greatest pics:

So, here it is: My first UDS build with Pics of the Spares done today.

All the pieces assembeled post-burn:


Close up of the fire basket:


After a coat of hi-temp engine paint:


Up to temp in under 20 minutes:


While it was getting to temp, trimmed the slabs:


Rubbed 'em down:


Tossed 'em on the bottom rack for 5.5 hours:


Glazed with a little Kentucky Bourbon BBQ Sauce in the last 30 minutes and pulled to slice:


total burn time: ~7 hours.
charcoal used: ~20 unlit briqs & ~10 lit
wood: 1 fist-sized chunk of hickory.

I'm likin' this UDS thing....

Yet so few actually believe this when you tell them! Until they see it in person that is.

After the wire wheel.






Rust-Oleum High Heat



Complete with the Puppy. When I have more time (never happens) I'm thinking of putting an KC Chiefs Arrowhead on the side.




Baby Backs below. Cooked between 220 and 250. First time so hard to keep it steady. It went almost out at one point, opened up all vent and a few minutes later it was back up to temp which I thought was awesome. They came out dry but had a nice smoke ring. used a 3-1-.5. Rub I used was salty for my taste but I'm going to have fun testing new rubs. Filled my basket half full of Ozark Lump with two Chunks of 2 hour water soaked Apple Wood pieces. The aroma when these things was cooking was AWESOME!!!!! Had about 3/8" of the bone showing.

A Vikings theme? WOW. For this build you will need a ball valve that is brand new, but you can get for cheap because no-one else wants it and may not work that well. Or get one so old that someone else threw it away; it may work well at times, but it gets rusty and locks up on you when you need it. Random hardware may fail to work and fall off, especially during critical moments. You also have a Weber dome that works great, but no-one wants it there as they'd rather have an open air smoker.

The drum will perform admirably, even spectacularly for the first 3/4 of your cook, then it will become unreliable and fumble your ribs to the coal basket. You can pull them out, but it will be too late; you're meat is ruined and can't be fixed in time. Everyone will be upset with your cook, but even moreso due to it's excellent performance up to the point of failure.
