I can possibly see it being more durable in terms of handling the drum (hits, scuffs, etc.), but I don't know that there are any substantial benefits in terms of withstanding the temps you'll see while smoking.
The stuff is kind of expensive, too. Something like $10/can, right? You'll need at LEAST two cans of the stuff, if not a third. That quickly starts getting you right back in to powdercoating territory. I know I've mentioned that solution before. Have you considered looking for a place? There should be a number of options in Houston.

Yeah I may look into that. I saw some pretty sweet paint jobs from Woody Smokers earlier.

I've trolled this thread for the last 2 months and built my first UDS. I am hooked. Very happy with the way it turned out. Did my seasoning last night and the first smoke will happen this Sunday. Thanks to everyone that contributed to this thread, you saved me many headaches.....

I've seen some drums use exhaust pipes for their lid exhaust. I have 2" exhaust from a Harley. Should I use only 1 or can I use 2. If I use 2, should I limit the size of the whole in the drum lid?
thanks, Mike

Love the thread. I have been cooking on a standard uds for years now with a bbq guru attached to it. I absolutely love it. I have build and sold probably 10 or so. I recently decided to make one for my cousin for his birthday. His was a little different. He has been in love with this t shaped uds that he saw years back. Well, this is how it turned out. Let me know what you think. I have a bunch of pictures of the build if anyone would like more info on how it was built.

Kaptain Kadian - Nothing ugly about that one. One day I plan on building one like that. It looks like a rib cooking machine. How much space between each rack?
Also, where do you get the lid/door handles from?

My cousin is a big rib cook guy. They are his favorite to cook. I think he will be able to get around 12 racks of spares on there. He can also pull out the middle rack to cook briskets and pork butts. There is 3.5 inches between each rack. I used some welders magnets to space them. Worked like a charm. He seasoned it last night and is cooking for the 1st time this weekend.

Missed the 2nd question. I got the springs off of Amazon and made the plates out of some steel I had laying around. I bought some full thread rod and cut it to length and attached it with lock nuts
