Been reading and reading and trying to take notes between all the double talk and personal conversations and gets hard when you are supiosed to be working instead. That is why I just need the simple part list and measurements of top rack, lower rack and height of fire basket.
Trust me, I am reading chapter by chapter

Specifically, on the fire basket, if you don't want to weld, you could do exactly like I did on mine but use stainless wire or stainless zip ties instead of the weld joints, and use the lightweight expanded steel sheet that they sell at Home Depot in 24" squares. -Rodney

What is being used (not pvc) at the smoke stacks? I know I know, read the thing. I feel I've paid my dues and read it once but now that I've been building this I forget and really don't want to go back through it all again! Stainliess is cool. If the only option, what kind of shop are you getting it at? And is there a cheaper option besides pvc? (I want a small stack, not just an opening.

I use 2" stainless for the exhaust.
My basket is made from stainless mesh and attacked with stainless zip ties.

I used a 9" long piece of 2" SS pipe for the stack on my SS UDS. Stupid expensive, but it looks cool. I found my UDS ran too hot without a stack, especially on windy days. I think the wind was getting in the big 2+" hole and stirring things up. It's steadier with the stack. Now I need to come up with some kind of weather cap. I nearly had my fire put out during a typical FL frog-strangler. I ran out (in the thunder and lightning) and McGyvered a weather cap of sorts to save the meat, but I need to make something better looking.

I purchased a basket on ebay. The gentleman sells complete UDS but I asked if he would sell just the basket. To my surprise he sold me one for $25.00 and I had it within 2 days of completing the auction. You can't buy the parts for the basket cheaper than he will sell it to you. This is the link and once my UDS build is complete I will provice pictures and provide the appropriate kudos
http://cgi.ebay.com/charcoal-smoker-...item2a09b0a2f0 My intent is to pass along to my fellow brethern a connection to a quality product at a great price. Hope this isn't considered spam |

Good score, LS! I built my no weld basket and materials cost at least that.. not including my labor!

If it does, then it should be easy to give it an assist with the directional intakes. Question is, which way does it rotate? |

Due to the low density and velocity (and resulting low momentum) of the intake air and the relatively strong influence of thermal updrafts, etc., I think the Coriolis Effect would be swamped out in this case, and is probably not worth considering in the design of your smoker. Bringing up the Coriolis Effect in the context of UDS design has to mean we've reached a new milestone in the quest to overthink things as much as possible... LOL -Rodney

For what it's worth, I was wrong about the direction that a vortex in the northern hemisphere would spin, according to the Wikipedia article. ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corioli...bs_and_toilets -r

Just look at a hurricane sometime. It will show you the direction of spin in the Northern hemisphere.
