I'm sure a drum is no different than any other grill or pit.
The best thing to do is get an oven thermometer and put it in the center
of the drum and compare the difference

Thanx!
I have a thermometer on both lid and side of my 85 uds. The lid temp varies by airflow. It also reflects the temp of the meat. By this i mean It runs low compared to the side at start but then equalizes sometime during the cook. If I have a path unobstructed by the meat it happens sooner. The +30 is a safe guide for me. I have not used a long candy/turkey fryer thermometer like some have but if you don't trust the +30 you might go with that set up.

I'm going to attach a 15 or 16 inch rimmed disc to the legs to act as an ash tray.
I think a rimmed disc would work great as long as the rim isn't high enough to get to the bottom of your charcoal grate.

Thanks Norco,good info.
And yeah,it allready took me long enough to build the UDS and TG.
I'm depending on other people that are more capable than I am with powertools and such.
I think somewhere in this thread I referred my build as the "Low and Slow build".
Ow....and if you wanna know how long I've been busy with the barrels it's almost 3 months.
Seriously,ofcourse it could take much less time to build these things but next to my regular job I have my own company that I try to build from scratch and the stuff that I do for my company I get paid.
Easy choice!
Here's one of the things I do:

Oh man, my daughter would love that trike.

Just one question though, how do you cook steaks on it? Lol, seriously do they sell that trike in the US? PM me if you know.
