I'm having a problem with mine. I fired it up and had the temps steadied at around 240 for 2 hours with one intake open about 3/4 of the way. the temp started rising and got to 260. I shut the intakes completely and it is still slowly rising. I don't know why. I am using a uniflame wallyworld lid that fits pretty good. intakes are 3 3/4 2 capped 1 valve.

XL UDS 98% Complete
I finally had some time to work on my new UDS...
With the help of this thread I started off by ordering a brand new unlined 85 gallon drum from grainger. Then a Tel-Tru 5" thermo... Then some pizza pans.. Then to the hardware store for some casters, stainless bolts/nuts/washers, a unibit, etc. Here's the progress: All i need to do is to poke some holes in the diffuser pan, add some handles and season... very excited! |

You may have trouble getting people to eat the food that comes out of a drum with hasmat labels all over it. You know it was new, but they don't. I use a drum type smoker and can't count the times I had people ask what was in the drum before I got it. Chris |

I plan on taking the sticker off. But I'm going to do is get a nuclear stencil and paint it on instead the nice thing is we live next to a nuclear powerplant out here so I'll tell the people that I got a great deal on it from the plant.
We'll see might be fun messing with the guests. ;) |

I'm liking that UDS :-)......A few blue LED's inside the drum would be really cool when you tell them you "got it from the plant" :-).

How much fuel like K blue does everyone typically use? I suspect it would be based on the estimated cook time, right? So my fire basket needs to be sized to fit 10 - 15 lbs of brickettes?

I just pulled the leftovers from the test burn on my drum, I had maybe 5lbs of RO briq. in there, and a chimney full of RO lump to start it off, maybe 25% of that burned and at the 8 hour mark (with nobody there to fiddle with the temp) it was still at 8 hours, and maybe 25% of the total fuel load burned.

About temperatures. Which is a more "honest" pit temp, a thermometer placed just UNDER the grill with no meat over it, or one placed right over the meat shielded from radiant heat from the charcoal ? With the typical UDS the former would be under the lower grate, the latter would be under the upper grate ?
