Burn Marks
Hey all. First question so here it goes! Just picked up a drum today to make my UDS. I live in an apartment complex and we have a cement patio out back.
Will the UDS leave burn marks or discolor the cement? Anything I should be aware of here? Thanks! |

Well that would not be good. A layer of bricks will do the trick?

for the burnout, you might want to go with a more than just a layer of bricks, you are gonna generate some heat. Better yet, find a friend with a house for the burnout, ply him, or her, with promised of glorious BBQ in the future. For cooking, a layer of bricks and if you are worried, put one of those cheap steel driveway drip plans under the drum.

get a metal pan under the UDS. i used the over flow pan from a hot water heater. otherwise you may get grease marks on concrete.

Thanks everyone for the tips! It certainly would not be a fun bill to get for cracked/exploded cement.

"Burn Marks" I thought this might be another Militant Squatter thread...
Yeah put them on bricks.

Cinder blocks is a good tip. The air gaps in the block will keep too much heat from being transmitted through.
