I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I need to know. The intake on these UDS smokers is always set up from the bottom of the smoker. Now, since hot air rises and cold air sinks, then what is the point of this? The hot air should rise and go out of the exhaust pipes on the lid, and this would draw in air from the intake right? Why does the intake have to be moved up?
This may have been asked before, but this thread is f'in HUGE and it is not THAT nagging to me to read through every post to find out.

My take on it is that if they were right on the bottom the fallen ash could block the intake on a longer cook. On mine though the 4 pipe nipples hold the fire grate so they have to be off of the bottom so there is room for the ash to fall.

My take on this is the more you have inside the harder it is to clean out. The ash and grease build up and has to be scraped from time to time.

What about the original rubber seal/gasket in the drum's lid? Does it need to be removed?

You don't need it Art. And unless you can idefinately dentify what kind of rubber it is (and its silicone) you don't want it.

I finally got me a drum and have started on my build. I am trying to use as many parts off my cookers that I already have as possible. I'm wondering if anyone has tried using the charcoal pan out of a Brinkman Gourmet ECB? It will hold 15#'s of charcoal and the deminsions are within the range of what I've seen you guys make. I'm just wondering about the airflow.
Anyway, here are some pics of what I've got so far. All I've been able to do is cut the roll off the top so my kettle lid will fit, then it started pouring down rain so I can't do the burn off of the coating inside. I'm planning on using 2 - 1"x4" black iron pipe nipples with elbows and 30" risers and full port ball valves for the intake air. If it will work I want to put 4 evenly space pieces of 3/8" all thread rod in above the intakes to set the charcoal pan on so the bottom of the pan is just above the intake nipples. What do you guys think about that plan? Another ?, has anyone found any hi temp paint that can be mixed in colors? Thinking seriously about a purple and gold LSU can

After reading this complete post, I was wondering if there is now a consensus on the size of the charcoal basket? 15"diameter x 6" high seems to be popular. Any others that work well?

I remember that one Norco, my pans a little different and I want to keep my ECB in working order, but I'm still going to give it a try. If it don't work, then I'll make a new basket.

I wonder if you put a high temp primer and black coat that would be enough. The other option would be to get a auto paint. Might need a sprayer for that. If you find a place that sells templates for School or Pro teams let me know. I'm looking for a couple of teams .
