I did a burn in last Saturday and then first test cook on Sunday. One question... I love the idea of shutting it down by killing the air flow. What do you do with the left over coals? Do you relight them on next cook (dump in a chimney, weed burner etc) or do you leave them in the basket and just dump hot coals on top of them? thanks!

http://fultonsupplyandrecycling.com/index2.html I had to buy an almost full sheet, but they'll cut it for you with their torch for a buck or two a cut. It's a metal recycling place (aka glorified scrapyard), so the pieces are sitting outside and are pre-aged for you (aka already rusted a little). Actually I could also provide you a piece 12" or 8" or whatever x 48" reasonably because I still have a bunch left over and I will only maybe be making maybe one more UDS some day. (the V2 where you try to make everything perfect and pretty after learning on the first one) :) I got a sheet which already had one cut made so it was around 6 or 7 ft. x 4 ft. for $30, then they cut it into a 12"x48 for my basket and three more 2 ft. x 4 ft. or so to fit in my trunk. We'll have to figure out how to cut it without a torch, but I do have an angle grinder with the right wheels for it. Just haven't tried it yet :) I'm in The Colony. I'll PM you. You can see the larger pieces but I have three of those left.

Like Nascarican says let them cool but be careful coals can stay hot for days. I put them in a plastic bag and store them in then smoker the reuse them.

I got a question for ya'll. Do you make sure to get all of the outside paint off the barrel? I have done a large burn and I got about 60% of the outside paint off through doing that.
But my thought is why bother trying to get all of it, if the barrel will never reach those temps during cooking. Even at the highest seasoning point, I would only go ~400F. Then again, I have thought maybe it would fume still and I don't want to take any chance on getting those fumes on the meat. What are your thoughts? |

A weed burner will handle that little bit of paint that is left if your worried.

Hinges
Quote:
1 - Do they stay 'folded up' when you fold them up or do they fall back down? 2 - Where did you get them? (link?) 3 - What are the hinges designed for originally? Thanks! |

Love the hinge idea and since I am now in the process of building mine I will use this idea. Many thanks for sharing.

Thanks, brethren. I'm looking forward to my first cook on it. I have flattened out the rim on the BL grill lid and it fit much better. However, it still leaks. I don't think that will be a big problem though as there is a lot of smoke inside the UDS. In fact, I'm hoping there isn't too much smoke in it. I have 8 3/4" holes in the drum lid and just the vent on the BL lid. I will have to do some more experimenting to see whether there is too much smoke or if it's the right amount.
I thought about adding some fiberglass wood stove gasket to the lid but I read that the fiberglass may not be food safe since it cracks and glass fibers are released. Any input on that subject? I will post some pics of the lid now that the lip is flattened out as soon as I can.

Looks great! That lid fits very well on that drum.
