Rust inhibitor? I went in with soap/water and a Brillo pad. How did you clean yours out?

that's fine. they told me to wash it out with soap/water because it is water soluble. Then got it seasoned up

Hopefully getting my drum sand blasted this week. Shops down here want too much for an entire blast. So im only having the interior done,

Whats the benefit when guys extend the ball valves to the top of the barrel, compared to installing them on the bottom?

Big Belly Mod. Much easier adjustment when the valve is at waist level. Only downside is the flow is a bit more constricted because of the 90° turn. I just went with 1" pipe and valve to compensate.

Pretty much this. Listen to this man. From my experience, you must increase the diameter of the intake if you use a riser pipe or the air flow will be all farked up

Where did you get the black thermometer from HUD?

Joined a couple of weeks ago and am diligently reading the thread as I collect parts to construct my own UDS; up to p. 234 right now. I've read many posts relating to various vent configurations as well as how the temp varies from the top to the bottom cooking racks.

Has anybody considered or tried installing vent drop pipes from the lid that might allow the heat to stack up deeper in the top before venting? This might cause a little more convection and achieve more uniform temp profile. Any thoughts?
