Yep, same here. I use my foot to slide shut or crack open the draft door.
Hey Carbon, I love your UDS. I really like the vent system you have. Got any laying around you wanna get ride of?

I use my foot instead of bending over :becky:
Do you reall you really need to use a ball valve? What about just putting some holes at the bottem that can be adjusted for air flow work just as good if not better?
Another question is, can you create an opening on the side of the barrell to add fuel if you use some type of gasket to ensure that it's air tight? If that's not a good idea how do you add fuel to the fire when you are on a long burn? Do you have to take out the meat to get to the firebox to add fuel?
A ball valve makes it easy to meter your air intake. You don't have to install one.....it could be as simple as using a magnet over the hole(s) to control air flow.Do you reall you really need to use a ball valve?

How long does the fuel last in the USD?
Also how does the USD hold Temp lets say 225° How many vents do you need? I'm thinking 4 around the btm of the drum. What do you use for a sealant?
Instead of ball valves can you put vent on the btm of the drum?
Do you need to have a gasket around the top?
Here is another UDS thread. First post is a decent tutorial http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43943&highlight=redneckHow long does the fuel last in the USD?

When people mention "full basket of briquettes" are we talking about dumping a whole 20 lb bag of charcoal into the basket as most UDS baskets can easily hold that much plus more?
UDS newbies would like to know...)
Dude, all of your questions have been answered already. Read the thread and you will be the Yoda of UDSs
Anyone have experiance with 8 butts on at once?
