Phubar, that size basket is just fine. My longest cook has been about 18 hours and didn't need to refuel. You are good to go brother.

just brought my barrel home from a reconditioning business. 8 individual wash stations including an acid bath, and sandblasted on the outside. I am going to wash the thing out to remove any residuals from the baths, and start drilling this weekend :) Cant wait. Should be complete early next week. I will post pics of the build.

Thanks Viva, I will try just the lid and see what happens. If it fails, I will use the gasket and try to rig it.

I wanted to see how a full basket (to the top rim but not any higher)would burn and cooked for 12 hours and burned little over 1/3 of the coals. It will definately cook for as long as I need it to. Sits about 3" high on the coal grate. Ash drops right through. Just added coals to start the cook.

Biggs, how big a fire did you build? You have to put a lot of wood in the barrel to get that liner off. It is tough stuff. Flames should be shooting out about 3 feet above the barrel.

Helps if you have the holes in the bottom to add oxygen from the bottom.

Man, what a great idea that cork thing is!!! Glad you didn't kiss. I once knew a guy who insisted that if things weren't done his way they couldn't be right. There's more than one way to skin a cat... and bbq him too! lmao

Reconditioning process
Ok first of all this thread is the holy grail of information. And thanks to everyone (although I'm on page 149 of the read) for helping me get my first UDS built. I found a reconditioned drum from a company and brought it home and did three burnouts on it. Sanded down the inside (although there wasn't much left in there anyway) and built a very simple UDS.
It has a 7" deep grill flat top using just the 2" bung for exhaust. I drilled three 1" holes but have found I barely need to open 1 of them more than a quarter (I use magnets - simple) of the way. So I was fairly certain that my drum was clean but I started getting paranoid so I called the company and described the barrel and asked if it had been used to carry anything toxic or hazordous. He told me that in their reconditioning process that they burn the barrels at 1800* bearing blast them, then heat them up again are washed with a detergent and some other steps. Basically he said there isn't anything I should have to worry about. Now he did say that if it was unlined that I shouldn't use it for storing food. So I asked him I said what about for a BBQ, he said that I am fine. I told him that I had also burned it out and sanded it down (it was painted on the inside) he said that he could have given me one that wasn't painted. I paid $27 and could have had it without paint in it. The name of the company is Consolidated Container Company in NE Minneapolis MN if anyone is interested. They were really good people to work with and you wouldn't have believed how many drums they have. So if you are in the twin cities area and looking for a drum this is a good place to go. Again thanks for all the help and information you guys have given me. I made the best pulled pork I have ever made thanks to you guys and I think Levi and Strauss will be thanking you too as I'm sure that my waistline is going to be expanding real soon. |

I have finally acquired all of the parts and tools I need to assemble my UDS.
Now I have a few questions regarding paint (I'm looking to take the "U" out of UDS). What kind of paint do you use (other than BBQ black)? Is it necessary to use a high heat paint? If so, can I put a base coat of high heat and then paint over it with a non-high heat paint, like a rustoleum? Many thanks to all the great ideas in this thread and I hope to be adding my build and completed pics in the near future!
