Well, I have read all of this thread, and have been informed, entertained, and enlightened! Hats off to all who have posted and gone before me. There is a wealth of knowledge on here. I started out on another forum, and planned my UDS from there, but found this forum and greatly expanded my knowledge. I have built my KISS smoker without any mods or extra blings, and have been rewarded with an excellent controllable smoker. I have three 3/4 inch intakes, two caped off and one with a ball valve. I have a 2" by 5" pipe nipple screwed into the bung hole on the lid, which is a removable lid with a clamp ring on it. My basket is made from 3/4 # 9 expanded and bolted on an angle iron frame. No welding, just cut and bolt together along with some hog wire. It is about 14 X 14 and sits three inches above the bottom of the barrel. All holes were cut with a hole saw or drill bits. I bought some extra caps for my intakes and drilled different size holes in them for added control when needed. After my first brisket that I smoked for 9 hours, I let the fire go on at a steady 210 degrees and after 37 hours, i got tired of checking on it and shut it down, with some briquets still left unburned. Needless to say, I was impressed. If I can figure out how to post some pictures, I will post pictures of my build.

I hope this works:



2" X 5" nipple


El Cheepo Wal Mart temp gauge, and the "U" bolts for the grate.



The tin cup is my shut off "Valve - Rain protector"



Two of three intakes.

Default My First Fatty

Well Here it is my first fatty I cooked it @ 225º for 3 hours. It took about 45 min to get it up to 225º so it was on the UDS FOR 3hr 45min..I was not sure if the bacon was done enough it looked like it was still kinda raw but it cut just fine and tasted very good. I Stuck some onion,Bell Pepper and Pepper Jack Cheese in the middle

Hey Mike 5150, she does a great job smoking. Temp's are real easy to regulate. Once I get it on track, it will stay there pretty steady without much adjustment. I have cooked 3 briskets, some spareribs and some whole chickens. All turned out great. The last brisket I cooked last week for a family reunion was butter smooth and tender. Cooked it for 8 hours, and then wrapped in foil and put it back in the smoker for two more hours. I use briquets and chunks of mesquite to smoke them. Got hooked on mesquite when I lived in South Texas. I like pecan, but it's hard to find around here. I saw your fare, and it looks great. I haven't tried any fatties yet, but they are on my round-to-it list!

Default UDS lid hook

Hey Brothers, I made an easy lid hook on my first UDS. My lid had an one inch bung. Thinking, why drill more holes in the lid. I attached a 3/4 nipple and cap into the underside of the lid. I also filled the top void with a wine cork. The set-up works great.

Sorry, for some reason I can't upload a photo.

Through 6000 posts....I'm obsessed. Haven't seen this question yet. Anyone try Emory Cloth and a palm sander on your drum liner? I plan to grab a metal grinding wheel to get my tan liner off since the burn was not totally effective. Just wondering if a palm sander would work too. Easier to hold......thanks in advance and great thread!

Palm sander did not work for me so I took a weed torch to mine.Harbor freight has them on sale now for 13.50 i paid 19.99 for mine..someone said oven spray would take it off but i did a test spot for 2 days on my tan liner with not luck!

Heck of a idea I was wanting to make a lid hook But I am going to steal your idea if you don't have a patent on it yet......

Nice job Mike. I had the same thing with the bacon so I put it under the broiler for a couple minutes. Hope I don't loose all credibility for that

Cooking those bacon wrapped fatties , I've found cooking a little hotter helps. If you cook them at 225 the bacon will never crisp , 300 will do it quite nicely , same applies to whole chickens. Just my .02 , great looking food guys!
