I don't know how to cook on a UDS in Texas during the winter but up here in Montana we just open the intake slighley and give her a little more air. it will cook just the same all year long, no changes needed. Oh, but you do have to shovel it out of the snow so you can see your thermometers

There's another Brother here - Smokin' Joe - who did the same thing (I shigged his idea ) The biggest difference is his is insulated with rock wool and mine just uses the air gap as an insulator. I can lay my hand on the outside of the drum anytime during a cook and just hold it there. It gets warm, but not hot enough to burn and the shell does a good job of keeping it from losing heat to the wind or rain. The lid is still an issue. I haven't come up with a way to insulate the lid yet that I'm willing to try. At the end of the day, I don't think it matters too much though.

the bolts you see sticken up are to hold my lid on my drum ad the lid is a tad small. The bolts are angled in so they go inside the drum and the gasket seals it to the drum. see drum: if you look close you can see the gasket in this pic. Just my solution.............. Paul B SS UDS |

I am thinking of building a UDS this winter...in fact I think I am beyond "thinking" about it at this point.
Here's my question....I have limited (actually none) welding skills...is this a sane project for someone like myself??? (Paul...that is one SHARP stainless UDS!) |

then some mods: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...postcount=6980 The only change i'd do is, when i built my charcoal basket i used plastic zip ties then i had to cut them off, next time i'll use steel zip ties and leave them there. It was easy build - i'm ready to start with a second one. And believe me when i say - if i could do it, anybody can. I have not building skills of whatsoever. Hope it helped Brunski |

Veg oil drum
I have a chance to pick up a closed drum that contained "food product" oil. The seller says it was vegetable oil and that the drum is not lined.
My question is can I cut off the top, build, season and go or do I need to wash out the barrel first and then season with something else? Thanks. |

My lid seals fine, that's not what I was talking about. I was talking about insulating the lid. There's still only one layer of metal between the inside of the drum and the outside. Since heat rises and a lot of your convection loss is going to be through the dome, finding an easy way to insulate the lid would go a lot further to reducing heat loss (and hence fuel consumption) than insulating the sides. One thing I did consider, was using two of these cones: http://www.westtexasfeedersupply.com/lidsfunnels.htm One for a 55 set inside one for an 85 with expanding fire-retardant foam insulation between them. Not sure how it would work, but just thinking about it....

I think the key may be in the size of the caster used. I like the low profile of the casters you used. Keep the center of gravity as low as possible and I am guessing it may be pretty stable. The only downside to low profile casters is not being able to (conveniently) engage the lock on a locking caster. Thanks for the pict Southern Home Boy. |
