A fond adeiu
Seven years, two drums down.
Today the second drum goes to the dump. Cold winters and super salty air and BBQ ash just don't seem to mix. Bye old Mr Green.

I just completed the last of my new UDS’s. I used the directions Paul with the Pickled Pig posted as a starting point.
A Weber grate. A Weber charcoal grate, two 12x24 expanded metal from Home Depot, & pizza pan for ash. Welded the expanded metal together and to the grate. I’ve already cooked on two of them and plan on doing a real time contest cook (chicken, ribs, pork, & brisket) next weekend. With the first contest a little over a month away, I need to get my timing and temp control down.

Burned out my drum last weekend. One fire Saturday night in the bottom of the barrel, then Sunday I put 3 hollow tile (cinderblocks) on end in the bottom with a 22.5" Weber grate on top, and had a second burn in the upper half of the drum. Hoping to finish by Saturday to be ready for smokin' Superbowl Sunday.

So I am picking up a couple of drums this weekend and this thread has been a huge help for me so far! Can't wait to start my build!

Is there anything wrong with getting a penzoil motor oil drum? The guy says it has no lining, no real rust and it's $25.

I completed my UDS except for the final paint job. I broke it in with a 10 Lb. butt. I love this thing!! It took a total of 16 hours to cook the butt and all I had to do was minor tweaks on the ball valve and I shook the basket down to break the ashes up at about 8 hours.
I have a question for more experienced drumhead bretheren. I have a dome lid but I only installed the bolts for the lower rack. I still have room for an upper rack. My question is: Is the second rack more trouble than it is worth? I seldom cook anything low and slow that I don't need to get at sometime during the process. Do you find that removing the top rack to get at the lower is a PITA? Do you need to rotate the racks of meat during the cooking process so that they are done at the same time?

I have dual racks and find myself using the top rack for the most part unless I'm doing six or seven shoulders. It all depends on what and how much your smoking.

No problem using it. Just wash it out with hot soapy water a couple times, to get the worst of the oil out, then burn it out.
