ETA: Here it is: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh....php?p=1682070 The BigMista mod is to fill your chimney halfway, instead of the 10-15 N8Man uses. The pyro Mod is to leave the lid off after putting the fire basket in. I don't recommend this because you can burn up your fuel too fast (and possibly your surrounding areas), and lose control over your temps. But depending on the wind conditions, you may have to use the SmokinJohn mod. Place one or two chimneys over the exhaust port. One of these three will get those temps up.

I must admit, despite heavy problems, my chicken drums had a nice smoke ring around them, but i had to put them on a grill for a few minutes to finish. I was happy, but I know this is not what i am shooting for. There was pretty strong wind blowing... When the wind settled, my UDS settled aswell. I think i will be practicing more and more, and cook better and better food. Chicken drums are cheap starting point.

Howdy! I am working on my 2nd UDS and found a great closed -lid organic coconut oil drum (unlined). I don't want to use a Weber lid, but want to fabricate my own. I am considering a 16 ga plate with a welded 1" ring around the edge and another ring about 10" diameter to add some stiffener near the center.
Does anyone have some advice for fabricating the lid? My friend tried the same concept, but there was a lot of smoke escaping out the side and could not get the temps to drop, even with most of the intakes closed. Thanks! |

Ok ... Time for my first serious UDS post ...
Looking at building my first UDS... One small problem I've encounted is that all the 55's I've found are from scrap yards and beyond repair but I have located a plethora of 44's. Has anyone tried a 44 build and is there any difference between the two in regards to cook times ... Obviously sizing is going to be a factor with space for racks and fire pit size ... Thanks for the input !! |

Burned it out last night. Going for as easy as possible build using kiss method. It's winter here in uk so I managed to find a 57cm kettle bbq for £20 which I plan to use the parts for.
