I think that's the whole idea of an ashpan. I've done it only twice cause the briquettes that I use leave almost no ash,I take the basket out of the drum then the ashpan and dump the ash from the pan into the trashcan,put everything back in and she's ready to smoke. I also used a flat metal thingy to scrape the ashes that's blended with the fat and stuff out of the ashpan.

Now a few more questions from some of you pros...
What are the increased cooking times like? I've been using a WSM and the Virtual Weber Bullet has made my mind go nuts over cook temps and times. I'm opening up a little BBQ/Hot Dog Joint in a Circle K/76 Station this week and have one offset stick burner and 2 UDS's that I will be using to cook. Currently with the WSM and Offset I cook: Pulled Pork - about 18-20 hrs Chicken - about 3-4 hrs Ribs - about 5-6 hrs With the direct heat what should I expect? |

Thanks phubar, I will start to work on it. I think I am just going to go down to the dollar store and buy a large pie tin and set my box in it.

No problem. This is not the ideal ashpan but it was a phree score and it works so... It's aluminium BTW.

Thanks Paul...
Okay so tonight I fired up the new UDS to season... My temp jumped to 350 (taken at lid level) and then rested at 300 with all vents closed... I fired up about 30 coals (greyed over) and about 4 small wedges of hardwood. Wasn't but about a half weber chimney starter... What did I do wrong and should these things always be fired up with the basket part way full (10-12 lbs) and then about 10 lit coals and hardwood? (Minion Method?) |

Has anybody tried adding a water pan to one of these? I was considering using 3, 1/4 in U bolts and a very large chrome mixing bowl... |

THANKS GUYS!
Tried it today with the ten coals.... That was the key! Yes temp does rise quickly got it to 225 in no time ran at about 240 with all vents closed for most of the cook (Chicken Drums) they came out great. No need for the water pan.... May need to try to seal up my lid a little better with some high temp silicone to keep the draft out. Overall I am well pleased and will now be making my second in the next few weeks or so! Cooking Tri-Tip tomorrow and we'll see how that goes... |

Make sure your exhaust is wide open(weber type lids), or you have at least a 2 1/2" bung hole, or 8 - 1" holes evenly spaced around a flat lid. Then you should be able to shut all vents execpt one the will be just barely open. All these drums cruse at slightly different temps and once you find that you will just sit there waiting for the food to be done. In my 12 hour cook I only had to check ever 2 hours or so and did have to make some suttle adjustments. ( I'm still learning on mine )
