I don't know why people put a bunch of holes in their drums. Then they cook with just one tap open. You don't see four holes and taps sticking out of any commercial smokers. I run one 2" intake with a magnet cover and it works awesome. My favorite is to run a pipe to the centre under my basket so the air draws straight up through the basket and I get a nice even burn no matter what temp I cook at.
Having said this I do realize that the neat thing about a UDS is you can build it however you want.

Default Just finished!

Hey all!

Just finished my UDS and am currently seasoning it with hickory! Finally! I made the mistake of picking up a drum with epoxy liner cause I didn't read enough posts before starting. Let that be a lesson to the next guy... It's hell getting that stuff out. Typical setup. 3 X 3/4" inlets with one attached to a draw pipe with ball valve. I built a shelf on the side and attached a bottle opener. I installed a 3" River Country thermometer on the front. There is a 2" chimney on the top and I am waiting for rain cap off an old tractor to come in the mail that will go on top as a damper. Inside are two weber 22.5" grills and a charcoal basket made out of expanded steel and attached to an 8" smokey joe charcoal grate. I painted it with high temp flat black. Looking forward to using it!

Nice drum Bear. Any issues with temp control from the intake being so high?

I placed my 2 1/4" intake pipe on mine and put 2 --3/4 intakes capped JUST IN CASE--didnt want to go back later for any reason and 15 min of drilling/welding and the 3 or 4 bucks i spent didnt kill me any

so far so good. I have to do more testing before I throw a $20 piece of meat on it. I'll keep you posted.

Yeah, so far the gauge has been great. That is a huge intake pipe! Work well? I just hope I dont have to size mine up.

Nice drum Bear.
I particularly like the high temp paint. keeps it from getting discoloration all over it, although it would be nice if the paint manufacturers could come up with something other than black.

it should be plenty, I have a welder so the set-up I have cost much less than buying a ball valve. Saved money on the chain handle to ---FREE---I should be giving it the test run this weekend (possibly sooner) and will report back on how it works--uncle-in-law raises pigs so I think I may raid his freezer!!

It was mentioned a couple hundred pages ago, that automotive engine paint comes in multiple colors and can withstand high temps.

Just use any engine paint that you could pick up at your local automotive store, those are heat resistant also.
