First ( but not last) UDS Build and First run (several pics)

Alba Gu Brath · 01-16-2011, 11:28 AM

First... thanks to "The Brethren" for all of the great information on everything "Q"...

Second... Amazed would be a gross understatement as to my disposition on the 55 UDS ability to hold temps in 18F with very little fuel...

Lastly, a huge thanks to my "Little Chef" Bryson ( 3yo) who is at my side no matter what if it has anything to do with cooking or cars... as you will see by the pics he is a trooper ...USPS got nothing on him..LOL ( all hades was unleashed when his Momma told him he couldn't go out to help, he won the battle..

)

I would love to post these pics with comments as to each but have no idea how to do it without a hosting site and I would hate to drag anything in that wasn't here before hand... Hope y'all enjoy the pics as much as I've enjoyed the experience...

It's a 22.5 x 8.25 hub-pilot wheel off of your run-of-the-mill over the road tractor. I work on these type trucks. I just wanted a way to keep it off the ground temp but ( with the "two hand hold" ) it created an airspace below the smoker that stayed insulated from the cold air around it. I believe that just about any Truck Tire shop has a few cracked wheels laying around ( this cracked in the pilot area for the studs) that they'd give ya for free!

Thanks! When I get a moment I'll snap some more pics of the Fire Ring that I did for it with an easy mod to extract the whole basket and still be 20 inches from the coals.

Man, I hear ya... Except for '93 ( 23" in one night) and all the ice that they got so far this season, being from Georgia had it's definite benefits in that department

The Ohio snow is more than enough for me... I couldn't even fathom what Iowa is like...
