Finished My UDS
Well My UDS is finally done!
Finished it yesterday. I Had to wait 2 weeks after getting the barrel to burn it due to Fire danger being class 4 or 5 for those 2 weeks. (just my luck) Once I got it burned out things went a little better but man barrel cleaning/brushing is tough, hard work. I used a vent cap on the exhaust and an old metal drawer knob on the lid. I use the knob to pop the lid loose and then grab the lid by the exhaust and the cap allows the lid to hang nicely on the side of the drum. Other build notes include two ¾” intakes with brass nipples/caps. One 1” intake with 18” riser and ball valve. Stainless steel bolts for the grate to sit upon with chrome nuts on the outside. Painted with the standard flat black hi-temp grill paint. I oiled her up with pam and put the heat to her. She is seasoning nicely. It was windy yesterday but I caught the temps on the way up and she did good in the 240* to 255* range for about 3 hours steady. Then I opened up all the vents to see what she could do and it seemed to level out and hover right around 300*. All in all she ran for about 5 hours. When I shut her down she was stone cold in less than an hour. Can’t wait to cook on it! It’s chicken thighs, drums and a fatty for mothers day!!! It’s gonna be rainy and windy here. (again, just my luck) I am posting another thread in a little bit with a few questions on the cook. Swing by there and lend a brother a hand with his first smoke ever. I will be posting that one after I do a few things for mother JTank. Thanks to everyone here for the “Bible” and all the Ideas in it. Special mention to Barbarian for help on my Charcoal Basket. And to h20loo for The advice on going up a size for an intake with a riser. Heres the pics to prove it really happened!!

Dang- only took me a weeks worth of reading to get all the way through this. Lots and lots and lots of great info on what does and doesn't seem to work.
Now I just wish I would have taken notes Hopefully I get started on mine next week. |

Didn't I read in this thread somewhere that the actual temp in the drum is slightly different than the side mounted thermo reads?
Mine has a 3 1/2" probe and is 1/2" or less below the grate. Thanks.

In my opinion shoot for 200 on side gauge and that will gets me @230 center grate. I clock my thermometer, that is I put the 200 at the 12 o'clock position so I can quickly read from a distance and know how it is doing.

I got my drum all seasoned yesterday/today. As I have never cooked on a UDS, I did a dry run using some hickory chunks and a 10lb bag of Royal Oak lump. After 18 hours, I noticed the temps dropped from 225-230 to 195-200. Opened her up and gave the coal basket a good shake and now I'm back in business. I still had 1/3-1/2 the lump left in the box. These things are sweet.
Hopefully I'll have my first UDS pron later this week. |

WTF is this?
Can't really call it a UDS, nor can you call it a BDS Clone. I'm open to all suggestions. Weiser I experiment a bit too. Quote:

Is that some kind of box built around a smoker? Or is it actually THE smoker itself?
I am New to this stuff, puzzled but intrigued.

Tanker, I'm confused too.
My Wife blames it on the Alzheimer's but I've had this problem all of my life. Ya, it is kind of a box built around some kind of Smoker. I don't mean to be elusive here but that is all I can really divulge till it is done later this week. Photos of the build will be posted. Weiser
