Is the pan ventilated? Temp problems are usually air flow related.

Someone else mentioned that it could be poor draft. Maybe my basket mesh is too fine? The holes are about half inch by half inch. the mesh is quite fine, so I wouldn't think it would cause a problem. I'm going to try lumpwood this week and see if it makes a difference. |

I'm no expert on this but it's my opinion that there is not enough air flow in your basket ...especially thru the bottom. I use the same 3/4 inlets and 8 1/2 in holes in the lid and have no problem. The basket needs plenty of air flow. here's my basket.

I've been using magnets on the intakes, little or no cost and they work great. I have three 3/4 holes for intakes, one and a half open 230 degrees if I open all three I run about 300

What About The Lid
I am about to start my first UDS. Because I am lazy and in a remote area I opted for the kit from Big Poppa's. I have my drum. On the side it says it was used to transport ethanol so I am planning to burn it out good but here is the question. I've read a lot about how and why to burn out the drum but I don't recall any mention of what to do about the lid. Doesn't it also need to be baptized with fire? If so, how?
Anyone have an opinion about using a drum that transported ethanol? Thanks in advance for your advice. Don |

Carefully. Too much heat will warp the lid.

I warped a 20" plow disk that I was going to use for an ash pan. Had to buy a new one. Couldn't straighten it out. The new one I just took all of the paint off with a flap wheel sanding disk on an angle grinder.

After three weeks of reading and gathering materials I finished my first build two nights ago. I couldn't wait to see somek rising from her so I fired her up at midnight under a rare blue moon. She held 250 degrees for a solid 11 1/2 hours on 8lbs of kings ford. All I need to do now is decide what to cook first
I should probably paint the thing before all my grinding work is erased by the fine rust patina I read about here so may times! Thanks to all who contributed to my education! Last edited by DaQueensQ; 09-02-2012 at 07:44 AM.. Reason: Fix photo link mod |

Build pron......
Lots of fun to build, but I learned my lesson. Next time I buy a new unlined drum... That is after I finish the four barrels I have on hand......l grinding the paint off, inside and out is not a fun thing to do. Face shield, ear muffs, respirator gloves and lots of soap when youre done!!! |
