Default UDS mods

I thought it would be fun and interesting to see a list of the mods that have been done from the basic UDS. Gotta be several dozen of them doesn't there? It will/should/could give future drumheads some ideas for their drums.

I know I used some other brethrens mods (Norcoredneck & N8Man for sure) but I think the ones of mine were;

1. cut the bottom out and use a stand so I could get to the ash pan
2. use a donor drum for a lid
3. brick paint job (if that counts as a mod)
4. bracket and 12" temp gauge at grate level
5. exhaust vent to get keep smoke out of my Q shack

Holder for thermometer with a magnet for holding plugs.


Clip for hanging lid


Ash scooper





Wiggle Rod


Mini Ring


Rack for hanging stuff

Kettle Flange Mod - allows use of Weber lid or removed for drum lid on open or closed drums









Lid hangers



Vent plug handles





Drum Dolly





Remote probe grommet made from brass truck tire valve stems.



Small charcoal basket insert







Weber Rotisserie Mod





I could use some side tables on them. I have a few tuning plugs (small holes drilled in the vent plugs) always watching to see what others are doing with their drums!
