On the contrary, the UDS can be all things to all people. Just because someone wants to run a water pan in it (why, I don't know), doesn't mean anything. The UDS is about making something on the cheap, experimenting in a way that makes it your own, and creating the best Q ever.

Wow. UDS cookers are many things to many people. I like the idea of it being a pit style cooker, unlike my previous Backwoods, FEC, Stumps, and Superior Smokers. I ALSO like the idea of cooking with a water pan, and wanted some input on that type of flexibility. Thank you so much for you insightful comments, I am sure they will be treasured by forum members for years and years. ML

mushcreek...
Thanks for the link on the stainless lid for my stainless UDS. My stainless drum rim is just slightly larger than the steel one I had. I really had to work the rim of the steel lid with a hammer and dolly to get it to seal. It's only temporary though until I get a dome lid. I just couldn't wait to smoke some meat...

Would you guys use drums that had chemicals previously stored in them?

Depends on what the chemicals were. Definitely not if highly toxic, pesticides, PCB's, etc.

One more question. If I get a food grade drum sand blasted inside and out, is there a need to have it burned out as well? |

Just picked up a 55 gal drum from a local sporting goods store for 8 bucks, the drums are filled with bear bait to sell to bear hunters. They are filled with bakery stuff that can't be made into food for human consumption, so alot of it is cookie dough that went bad etc. My question is about the inside of the barrel because it is burnt orange in color. As far as I know there weren't any hazardous chems inside so will a good burn do the job and do I need to make sure all the orange coating is removed. The lid is in good shape and it came with a metal compression like strap with a locking handle to secure the lid to the drum. I plan on using the lid for now because I don't have a dome lid yet. One question on the lid is that it has a gasket that seals it to the drum that feels like it is make of rubber so do I need to replace it or just remove it. Last question is that I have the bottom of a L'll Smokey Joe grill and it is 13" in diameter and stands 13" high, will it work as the charcoal basket?
