How long are you talking about here? There are guys in this thread that have done 16 hour cooks without adding fuel. Fuel mileage is one of the benefits of the UDS

I am currently 6 hours into a brisket smoke and I used about 6lbs of lump in my basket. I just peaked at the brisket and I've used less than half of my fuel. To me a door seems like more trouble that it is worth. More air leaks for so little gain in my book.

Scrap wood table and repaint
Just finished sealing my prep table that I made from scraps laying around my garage. Got the idea from someone about 100 pages ago...thanks! Repainted the smoker black with our logo. It was orange, but a BBQ is just meant to be black, know what I'm saying!

There are times where I will add other groceries towards the end of a cook but on those occasions its as simple as using the "thirdhand" to get some fresh or different wood on the coals since I already have the lid off for the new groceries. I usually preburn the wood chunks to avoid any off tastes. When you are done you simply close your exhaust and intake and save the unburnt coals for the next smoke- no waste. |

My journey to manhood began this morning. Just brought home my brand new, 40-year old drum. This thing puts the U in UDS.

I swear that my UDS makes charcoal,lol.It seems that I'm ending up with more than when I started. Something that waterloo said about preburning his chunks, at the end of a cook I throw on some sticks and char them for my next session. Geeez, maybe that's where my extra charcoal comes from!

Well I went and did it.
I've read this thread probably 3 times through and more going to certain posts to get information. But I finally built one. Build was typical so I didn't take pics. But here she is

Hello all:
Going to make my first UDS. I got 2 steel drums, both were food grade (used for juice concentrate) but both have a red paint like coating on the inside...what is the best way to remove? I was thinking burning them and then using a wire brush? Or do I even have to remove it? |

@SJM845 Nice table. May have to take a look in my shed.
Question, why the locking ring?

Clifford.....
I just finished getting the lining out of mine. I think you and I had the same lining and I got bad news for you..... That stuff is amazing. I burned a bunch of wood to get very hot coals, rolled the drum and then blew air in it with my shop vac to really get it hot. Oh yeah..... didn't even faze that stuff. So this morning, I got my trusty Harbor Freight angle grinder with a couple different flap wheels and got to work. Three hours inside the drum out in the sun. Loud.... dirty (I went through four of those masks) and a huge pain, but it's finally done. I rubbed it down with canola, because I could SEE the rust forming on that bare metal (and I'm in Denver where the humidity is like 10 %!!!). Now off to do a little welding and put the bolts for the grate in. Please re-assure me that this will work..... while I was in the barrel, I was really thinking that writing a check for an electric smoker would make a bunch more sense!!! Oh yeah.... I got my son in on the action! |
