For the wheels, I'm going to try using the set of wheels from the kettle I'm using for the lid (I'm hoping the finished barrel won't be too heavy for the plastic wheels, we shall see). I'm going to ask a buddy of mine to weld the axle to the bottom lip of my drum on one side and a pipe nipple opposite the axle (on the flat bottom, not the lip) as a kickstand/leg/whatever else you wanna call it. |

My opinion on a drum dolly, I have my current UDS on a drum dolly and I find it inconvenient for my needs. My back yard has a deck that's about an 8" step up from my patio, a step the my barrel has to travel across virtually every time I move it. In order to do so I have to take the drum off its dolly, put the dolly up on the deck (or down on the patio) then place my barrel back on the dolly. I'm figuring a hand truck style of transportation will be more convenient for maneuvering up/down steps. Just my .02 from my experience

I thought about doing the lid mod. I have a kettle that I don't use too often. I really like the idea of the hinged lid. Might just get the hinge for my flat lid.

Main reason I want the kettle lid is for a second cooking rack. I only have room for a diffuser and one rack on my flat lid barrel.
Can't wait till the day I fill this one up with 8 butts |

My next build will have the adjustable shelving brackets, no uprights on my valves, and I will do either 2 1" ball valves or 1 2" ball valve. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk |

On page 171 but couldn't wait any longer. Actually I built this while I was on like 140 but who's counting.
Having trouble keeping it under 300*. However I have only done one burn to season the barrel so we will see this weekend when she gets some meat on her. It may be the old thermometer so I ordered a Maverick remote thermometer. Also have a plate to cover exhaust if necessary. Thanks to all who have contributed to this awesome thread! I have never smoked anything in my life, meat wise , so this will be all new to me. |

When new, looking down thru the 3 grates into the coal basket. Diffuser Rotating/removed cooking grates 4-10lb butts, you could fit more and/or buy smaller butts. Just a thought. |

I start mine with about 15 briquettes, catch your temp on the come up. Too many coals in the chimney make for difficult temp adjustment.

First smoke complete
Chicken came out a little salty in spots, brine was probably a little too rich in salt, but I consider it a success. 7.5 lb. chicken took 4+ hours. Turkey leg was above 180* but that did not hurt it one bit. The log will be partially consumed at breakfast this morning.
Cooked between 325 & 350*. Thanks to all who post here I could not have done it without this thread. |
