And I should have been a little more specific, I really just meant 'in general'.
Like should the inlets be below the firebox, near the bottom, top, above, etc? That kind of 'suggestion'. Thx for the thread funugy - And thanks again - cause that's a great UDS build thread!

I centered my inlet holes about two inches from bottom of drum to keep them from becoming obstructed by any falling ash. The bottom of the fire grate is then about two inches above that, four inches off the bottom to allow good airflow.

I have built up my UDS and everything is looking okay. Except I couldn't find a two inch pipe for the bung hole vent that wasn't galvanized. Is this an issue? There won't be flame on it, just a lot of hot air.

Not a problem, but if you want you can soak the pipe in vinegar/water 50/50 to get ride of the galvanizing. Wipe with a rag.

So, after a month or so of reading this thread, and learning as much as possible about building my UDS, I've finally got it done and ready for some meat. Did the seasoning/experimenting burn last night, and hope to try out a spatchcocked chicken and a couple of fatties when I have more time this weekend.
I went with the basic KISS method for the first one, with a shelf, some wheels added, and the Weber lid. My wife said I had to at least paint it up nicer than a plain barrel, and I've seen a lot of sports team paint jobs on here, but, I'm not much of a sports fan, so I went with a Breaking Bad theme. Here's some progress pics, the food pron to come later: [IMG][/IMG] The drum, and donor Weber($25! It's in great shape, so they will share the lid and grill until I find one in worse shape for the parts) [IMG][/IMG] The burn out. [IMG][/IMG] The inside, and basket. [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] Ready to test out! |

FYI: Good source for food grade drums
Hey all, I got lucky last year when I started to make my first UDS and found a good source of Food Grade drums. Stores that make their own soap use a food grade oil as a base. The drums are extremely clean, dent free or nearly dent free with a removable lid and ring clamp.
I have found 2 stores in St. Louis, one on the Hill and one in downtown Kirkwood. They both produce 1 per month and advertise once in a while on Craig's List. $30 each. I just picked up 2, one for me and one for a friend, and they still had 6 more. Smoke free or die! |

Nice looking "T" build. Need pics of the exhaust. Is there a build thread that I can find? I don't get to spend much time here anymore and miss a bunch of stuff.
How does it hold temp compared to your UDS? |
