I'm only on page #58, but I'm trying to get through this entire thread before I start bugging everyone too much with build questions.
That said, I need to ask this now while I can. How do these drums look for building an UDS? I've been trying to find something with a removable lid and that wouldn't require much work to be ready to cook on (not having to remove liners and such). Think one good burn inside one of these could do the trick and I could start building? http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/for/4005434921.html It is the only step that I'm really hesitant about. Any help finding a good drum source in Dallas/Fort Worth is appreciated! Hopefully I'll get one built in the next month or so.

Thanks. I sent a note to the seller and will pick up two if they are available.
Probably worth doing a burn in them anyways, I suppose, but they look good!

Doesn't look like it is going to happen. They are only available M-F, 8-5, which happens to be the only time I'm not available.

This will be my first reply on any forum, I'm getting younger I think! Not sure at all what your using or tools available but just an idea. If you are going to put legs on the top grate, just let them stand on the bottom grate. That's what I did but I had expanded metal for grates and a welder to attach legs. Food for thought. That way the u-bolts won't get in the way removing the bottom grate.
QUOTE=Toadly_Smoked;2617214]Doing some homework to build the "Ultimate UDS". This is what I am thinking now, what do you "UDS Masters" think. Starting with a 55 gal drum and do the normal, burn, wire wheel and paint. Now instead of using bolts to support the rack, use 4 Ubolts. Then make a second rack with legs that will sit into the Ubolts. Anythoughts?[/QUOTE] |

Like it was said before, a super tight fitting lid is only important for shutting down after the cook. I once lost my lid on the way to a contest (long story) and ended up cooking with a piece of plywood with a hole in it for a lid. Worked just fine, holding temps in the wind and rain.

At what temperature should the tan liner burn off? I had the drum glowing last night and you can still see liner in there.

I would recommend checking around and see what a shop would be willing to blast it for. Shouldn't be more than $40-$50. Some even do it for as low as $20. Check Powder Coating shops if a search for sandblasters doesn't bring anything local up, that is what I had to do. |

Now you have one for smoking dead animals and one for hiding and disposing of dead humans! Lucky!
