How does the vertical air intake work for you? I wanted to use a pipe with diameter 2,5cm/1". I want to have something like that but today I read something about guys complaining that it was hard to control the heat. The guys who had a bigger air intake had no problem as far as I can remember. I remember that I saw somebody (think Norco) who had the ball valve on the bottom of the barrel but had a rod attached to it that went up so that you don't have to bend down to control the valve. Probably I'll go with that idea,just have to find it! Last edited by Phubar; 11-01-2009 at 01:56 PM.. |

I have 4 one inch intakes and only use all 4 to get the thing started. After the temp hits about 180 I shut down 2 of them and leave the other 2 open til it hits 220 then go to 2 about half open. My charcoal seems to burn evenly enough. So with 6 intakes and your wanting to get an even burn you will be adjusting all 6 intakes, all of them open 1/8 or so. Seems like more trouble then its worth. But reinvent the wheel if you must.

Hey Phubar,
Here are my intakes. I made the back on a bit taller so it would be easier to get to since I have a table close by and cannot walk around the drum. The front one is a bit shorter and the other two are down at the bottom but are only open for about 5 minutes when I fire the drum up, then they are shut down. On the tall ones I use a magnet to adjust the air. I like the 2" exhaust. It works great since I have a airtight drum now. I use a tin can to put over the exhaust to slow it down before turning the meat and to shut it down after the cook. Not quite sure what your pic shows, maybe another one later will help. Good luck with the build.

I'm now at a point that I just have to build this thing and worry about the customizing later. Probably I'll stick with my first ideas,most of the times those are the best decissions. The Weber exhaust,3 air intakes with 1 vertical pipe plus ball valve will do? Think that's one of my most important questions,the air intake and exhaust ratio. I found it earlier on page 54 somewhere. Sorry about the bad picture earlier,I took it with my cell phone as you can see,hopefully this pic will help. It shows how I'm using the inside of the lid as a template for bending the rod for the upper lip of the charcoal drum/basket. Thanks for your support broer/brother!

I'm not knocking you, brother, truly I am not. Just trying to save you some frustration. Quote:
http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=43943 All you need to know to build it. THIS thread is what I would call "drum theory". It is a very worthwhile read. Yes it does take a long time but then so does smoking a brisket. Both are worth the time spent. And yes, you can grill with these thin Dave

My bad anyway, I got you mixed up with a different poster. It sounds like you have a very different purpose in mind than the basic UDS. I shall read more carefully next time. Dave

A Door in a UDS is no longer a UDS.
Forget that crap and follow the instructions. Otherwise go build whatever ya want. It won't be a UDS. You'll have to come up with a new name for the contraption. Weiser Dave, this is in no way directed at you. I agree with ya.
