Wow, been a long time since I was here..... Family business can sure fill up a few months in a hurry. Well enough of that
UDS Question, anybody run across 60 gallon drums?? I answered a CL post for free drums. These 60 gallon drums have the same ID & OD as a 55 but are 38" tall compared to the 34" height of the 55. Had different flavors of juice in them. Next week I'll be building a couple more UDS's, one with a weber kettle lid and a flat top. I'm thinking the extra height with the weber lid will allow for 3 cooking grates.

Hi All
Lone time reader. Short on post. Just thought I might add my two cents worth. A easy way to mount the thermometer Gage is use a 3/4 nipple mounted just under the grill and a cork from a wine bottle perfect fit. Just drill a hole in the cork and slide the thermometer probe or cable through the cork and fit in the nipples Also it was mention before, If the dome donor lid is not a good fit use a small ball ping hammer and flatten the rim of the cover. Then set the cover on your drum and slowly work your way around the drum using the hammer to bend the rim over the drum working from side to side. If you still need a better fit use the ring from a removable top, drum to seal the lid and drum. I use a old pair of Vice grips.(Thanks to someone suggestion many posts ago) It maybe a tight fit but you don't have to open it that often. A easily way to clean the ashes from the bottom of the drum is to buy a cheap ash shovel and bend the shovel end to a 90 degrees angle. Mine cost $3.66 at a local farm store. I'll try to post pictures not having much luck. Remember this can be habit forming one or two UDS may not be enough. |

So I did my first Butt this weekend. It turned out pretty good. Along with that I did some Babt Back ribs. They turned out great too. I did get the 18 1/5 Weber lid to work. It worked out great. The question I have is... With the Weber lid does it get hotter than the flat lid that came with the drum. I know a lof of you when cooking you have most of your holes on your lids and UDS opened up the whole way most of the cook. But with the Weber lid on I have to have them all shut a little more than half way. I have 2 holes on the bottom and just the Weber air holes on the lid. My question is does the lid make a difference. It seemed like it ran hotter with the Weber lid. Over 300 with all the vents opened. But with the air holes set it ran about 250 but really couldn't get to go lower and it stay at a steady temp. I was also wondering what to do to get it to run a bit cooler. Should I add more holes or whatever? I forgot to mention its a 30 gal UDS. Also forgot that I held 250 for about 14 hours and at 24 hours it was still at 180 or a little more. At about 19 hours it was at 215 or so. Thanks again to everyone that has gave me great advice!!!!!!!!! I now can not stop BBQing. LOL!!!

I started reading this thread from the beginning about three weeks ago and am only on page 70. But I couldn't wait to build me one, so I had to jump in with both feet.
I can not name all of the names of the people on this thread that helped through this process. I just want to say "Thanks to everyone" and everything on this UDS was found on this thread. It is seasoning now.
