Has anyone ever tried putting 90° elbows on the inside of the intakes?
If you turned them all in the same direction, say all pointing to the right, seems like it would create a swirl effect of the air coming in. As soon as I can get to the depot, Im going to pick three up and then try the biscuit test, with and without. Jeff

Because Rodney it's probably best to build the 1st one the k.i.s.s. way then you'll see you shouldn't have any problems or complaints. Then if you want build a second one and experiment all you want. Most that have problems or complain about how there UDS doesn't work the way it should haven't followed the directions. I do agree with you about someone building it any way they want but don't complain when it doesn't work the way you thought it would is all I'm saying.

Seems like the incoming air would tend to swirl and even things out even more. Jeff

if the nipples are going straight in, should we still be using the "close" nipples, or does it work better to use a longer one to get the air more to the center of the drum?

Close always works best for me. An added bonus is when you have to scrape/clean the inside the longer gets in the way. |

I just have a BGE intake and my drum just hums along. This is usually low and slow cooking so there is not a big air intake to begin with. More air usually translates to higher temps, just sayin......

Remember I am new here....
I am going to build me at least one of these Ugly Drum Cookers \ Smokers. However, I have read and looked on here and don't see a parts list or instructions for the basic drum smoker. I have all the drums I need in case I mess up but I guess I would like to know the distance of the air holes from the bottom, the size of the wood basket, placement of the lower rack and the upper rack distance from the top. I am amazed at the simplicity but yet complicated cooking these drums provide. All of youhave some wonderful stories and pictures of your food experience. When I figure this all out I will send pics and let you all know how I did and wait to be gradded on my progress. Thanks and please keep this all going, great site and very happy I found this spot on the www. Sugar

Good point Sugar-T, a parts list would be great for those of us wanting to build a UDS.

Paint / Powder Coating
This may be an oxymoron to an UDS, but I am trying to “pretty-up” my UDS. Have any of you tried to powder coat your drum? I have made a few of these over the years and have had great success at competitions. The latest one I have I used high temp engine paint. It worked well but I can see it starting to fade towards the bottom third of the drum where the primary heat source is. Curious about powder coating.

http://www.thepickledpig.com/forums/...-part-1-a.html Lots of people on here just use magnetic vinyl sheet over holes in the drum to throttle the intake air. When smoking, the drum (at least near the bottom) doesn't get very hot at all, so this works fine. FYI, Home Depot has white magnetic sheets, 8" x 15" in a 3-pack, for $5. They're sold as A/C vent shutoff covers. Also, if you need some info on charcoal basket construction, check out the video in my signature. It'll at least give you one perspective... Have fun! -Rodney
