I use a weber lid on my UDS , and I had noticed that even the slightest breeze would mess up the draft , I set a scrap piece of 4" pipe over the exhaust and it seems to work way better. As posted above I could see a can with both ends removed work as well.

I agree with Willbird. My flat lid has 8 holes and I can cut off the bottom vents and my charcoal will go out (save for another time). This is probably caused by the chiminey effect and heat.

Well this is interesting. I have the flat lid, with a 2 inch bung on it and no chimney. Is this bad? I always assumed it was enough for smoke to escape.
For those that added a chimney, what did you use? I do have threads in the hole, just don't know what to look for. Similar piping material to the nipples? |

The chimney effect is real that is why in ye olden day homes had tall chimneys so in the winter it made lighting and maintaining a hot fire much easier and in the summer it drew cool air through the home.
If I had a flate lide I would want at least a nipple taller than the edge of the barrel so water would not collect on the top and fall into the drum but I have a weber dome so its not a problem. Dave
