White plastic fencing seems to warp too....not that I ever did it....no pictures, so I guess it didn't really happen.

Yeah... Life is a little different here in SoCal.

ok, what would others do: be patient and wait for a score on stainless lined drum or rush out and get a regular ol' lined drum right away and burn it out? i have a wsm but i also have issues with being patient.

cheers......

Burning it out is half the fun.

As long as you've got a hot dog on a stick hanging over the fire, it's a BBQ.

Is that a pellet poopin' UDS?

Buy it and burn it...no need to wait. I didn't even take a wire brush to mine. I burned it, burned it again, and took the burner to it. If all of that didn't get it off, it wasn't coming off at 225.

Or Sbramm go online and buy a new drum that is unlined. If you are careful and not let it get to hot during a cook the outside paint should be fine.

Well read it all, quite a read started on Tuesday joined last night so I could post today and finished reading today, my UDS is already done I actually found this thread after it was pretty well done off of just some pictures I had seen. I had the lid made for it it has a 2 3/8' OD pipe for an exhaust three 1 1/4" holes with magnets for intake, and a rectangle exp metal box for the lump, two grates, one is 5.5" from top other 10.5" from top.

I did a test burn yesterday and it worked great, ran a little hotter than I would have liked, but I think it was because my charcoal grate was over the 3" recommended height it was at like 4 1/4".

I kno I kno I'll put pics up soon and pics of the two bostons I am doing Sunday, smoker is at work camera is at home which is why I can't add pictures now.
