So, after reading this thread, I got my first barrel today and started cleaning the liner out. I've promised myself I wouldn't ask any noob questions until I have read this entire threat...just finished up page 37 (of 470) so I may be awhile. :) You guys are all great, thanks for the info!

I cooked some ribs this weekend and was going to use a rib rack but the last time I cooked ribs they were falling apart and they would not fit in the rack so I tried adding feet (four SS bolts, eight washers and eight nuts) to a rack and it just sits on top of the first one, no side bolts to get in the way of removing the racks.
I can still lay them flat without them touching and I have more room for ABTs I added them later but I still had room after adding the ATBs for another rack. Here is a pic of the rack and ribs Bonus, the feet work to set it on the table without the ribs touching the table. I think I might be able to put a third rack if the first one is low enough. |

I have adjustable legs on my charcoal basket when it sets in the ash pan. On my first build I wanted the adjustment capability up and down to allow more or less air flow. Anyway, I welded 1/2 flat washers to the head of the 5/16 bolt which gives the leg a more sturdy base and prevents it from falling between the grates.
I like the idea of putting legs on the grates in case you need to remove them and set it somewhere. Since I have adjustable shelf tracks I wouldn't need them to stack on top of each other. |

Well, I am on page 140 now. It's all great info and I don't want to miss anything. I've been busy burning, grinding and brushing the liner out anyway. Butt up in a drum with a wire wheel is a great time to reflect on the posts.
One question though...I have been thinking about putting 3 casters (1 locking) on the bottom of the drum after it's seasoned. If anyone has 3 casters on theirs, is it fairly stable? I guess I am thinking rolling it around (out of the garage, etc). |

3 wheelers were outlawed for a reason. If your going to put casters on it then put four.

You might as well put them on before seasoning too. That way you don't have to climb into a dirty barrel to attach them (assuming you are going to drill holes and bolt).

DON'T put rubber wheels on before the burnout - there is a post where someone did and burnt the rubber off.
I would not worry about 3 wheels. I keep my on 3 bricks and it is plenty stable. |

So do I, but keep in mind that those three bricks contact the ground much further out from the center of the drum than three wheels would. That makes a huge difference. Plus, that stability is most important when you're rolling the drum across uneven surfaces, which we're obviously not doing with bricks.

Yeah, you can see our baby sitter across the street. She is just getting home and my boy is about to come home. We had it handy from cleaning out the camper to be winterized so I tossed it up. I had some cheese smoking nearby and didn't want to have to worry about him touching it. He's 2.

Using a UDP in the winter
What advice do seasoned UDS owners have when it comes using their UDS in the winter to maintain proper temperature?
I have a stack of bricks and I was thinking of building up the bricks around the UDS to act as a seasonal wind break and maybe help stave off the heat radiating off the UDS. |
