At the Paul Kirk Pitmaster class I attended we cooked for a Judging class and I did the brisket on the drum and took 4th Place out of 18 teams. I'm ready to start drilling another drum to use at a Backyard Comp next month. I'll take pics of the process. Brian

be careful when doing the burnoff of the drum. I killed the grass in a nice 22 inch circular area, wife hated that.

I have 2 circles in my back yard, finished my first UDS last Friday and cooked ribs on Saturday. Everything went so well that I'm making 2 more, will have 3 in all. This way I can do shoulders, ribs and whatever all at the same time for large outings or maybe even some comps, and get some rest while doing it. Keeps me from firing up the mobile monster and tending the fire all night.
By the way great article on the construction and use of the UDS, Thanks to everyone here Great job. JW |

I was curious what your logic was with the square tube spacers below the ash pan. Thanks.

Hey guys!
Been working on the drums! This thing is getting out of hand. I've got enough drums to cook for an army! First drum is a DIGITAL air controlled model. Second model is a MANUAL controlled model. Digital model can control at +/- ~4 degrees. Manual model has a +/- 18 degree swing. Not bad for BBQ but I like the tighter control better. It has too much deadband to control a fire.

Ok. Getting close. My custom basket ala OldBob arrived and it is great. PM if you want the name of the Brethren who made it for me.
I put mine on 4/4 wood blocks to burn it out too.. they caught on fire and then caught my grass on fire. Lovely. :-) Couple questions - 1. when I screw the pipe nipples in they aren't very secure. When I then screw the covers on them I can't tighten them without the pipe nipples getting loose. the same thing happened on the one I screwed the ball valve into. I bought some high heat silicone to seal it up with. If I use that around the pipe nipples will that be strong enough to keep them tight when I put the caps on? 2. I finally found a used weber kettle for $30. I haven't got it yet, but will I have to do anything to make it fit the top of the drum? 3. Am I not going to use my stick burner anymore after using this drum? Thanks B

I know some guys have ground the top roll and gotten a snug fit, but on this one I would have to grind nearly the entire roll. Quote:

The thought with the tubing under the pan was Heat Transfer...I wanted to try to keep as much heat as possible off the bottom of the drum,I have the tubes bent now and should be getting back to work on it soon.I will post more pictures and results as I can.
