That looks fairly familiar...

FYI Doc...that design does not like lump charcoal. I had to re-light mine 3 times Sunday at Paul Kirk's class...it kept cloggin' up at the bottom. If you wanna burn lump...use a charcoal grate (style) for the bottom. It was my first time using lump (provided by the class)...briqs work like a charm and will hold a low-n-slow forever...I used 3/4 holes in the bottom.

OH NOW you tell me!!! Just kidding. lololololol

Thanks for the info JD I'll slice some slots and drill some hols in it this weekend. So the 3.4 holes wernt big enough or could it hace been just too few?

WOW...what a thread, I am officially giving it Legendary Thread status...

Anyway, I am on my way to building my first UDS. I recently acquired 4 55 gallons drums for 5 bucks each and a older weber 22 inch grill for FREE!!. From the E on the vent I believe it to be a 1983 model. Its almost in too good of shape to ruin. It is missing its ash pan but thats easy to work around. I will be keeping it around and only borrowing the grates and lid for my UDS. I also have a brinkman electric smoken'grill that the neighbor was tossing out so I grabbed it for my ash pan/fire grate holder upper thinggy.

Smoker and food pron ASAP!

A silicone o-ring should be OK up to around 300 deg. F.

jdub · 04-16-2008, 09:20 AM

a 90 degree bend on the inside of each air intake. Swirl the air inside a bit to get a bit more "convection" and smooth out temps across the grates.

Eh? Whaddya think?

I have actually been thinking the same thing, point them in the same direction (left or right not up or down). Anyone with thermal convection dynamic knowledge. (is that even a thing

)

Dr, there is a kink in your pipe

Dr_KY · 04-19-2008, 06:22 AM

lol Not for long though. I'll be cutting sections of that for my next drum build for a friend in the next few days.. I had planed on using it for an intake on mine but money talks.

JD McGee · 04-19-2008, 10:42 AM

I've been thinkin'...has anyone tried putting an access panel on their drums...ala WSM? It would have helped a lot last weekend when I was having' issues burning lump in my briq basket. I've got a few more drums laying around I can chop up...I think I'll come up with a sketch and see what you guys think.
