First fire in the UDS

grindstaff3 · Feb 19, 2009

I started up my uds for the first time after finally getting it sealed up (thanks meat burner). I put 2 fatties on there ( one maple JD w/ rub, and one hot JD w/ cheese and jap slices inside). Man I'm getting pumped to put some real me on this thing next week. I'll show pic of the finished product when they're done. I was in too big a rush to get them on to take pics before hand.

That drum is way too purdy, glad to see that you're gonna get it dirty.

Paul. Looking good brother. Stick the remote probe all the way through a potato and see what the grate temp is reading.

Nice, What did you do with that big ding on the top? You should not be rushed, relax and enjoy.

I live really close to Meat Burner and he sliced off the top ring and we did a little bending, Works great now. He saved that drum from doom.

Same thing happened to us.

I was very glad he helped.

I stuck a probe on the grate and I'm 40* higher on the center than the sides...I got a temp spike when I took the lid off to 260* so the center was 300!...How do I get/keep it down. I only had one valve open about 1/3 and when the temp spike hit i shut it all down but it really didn't drop much.

First don't open it. Make sure top is centered and sealed. Catch temp on way up , control it. Let 20-30 min. go by between adjustments.

Now that is what I call a drum rescue job. Looks really good.
