UDS Building Class - Saturday

[chinesebob]

I actually got the drums for the class from Dayton Industrial Drum. $30.00 each. They burn them and then use ball bearings to clean them out.

I just finished cutting the fire grates out of 9gg 3/4" expanded metal. 3 1/2 hours of cutting and cleaning with a oxyacet torch. It might sound like a lot of work, but it's really a lot of fun. Not that I need anything else to do right now....

I am getting in contact with them today to see if I can get two from them. I want to try and build two different types of UDS so I can play around a bit.

The bad part is here at work I am not able to see photobucket pics so I have to get home and check out the UDS thread in better detail. Damn government and blocking pics!


I can't wait to try this out.

Ya know, the way that I see it is that doors may get closed but God opens better ones. I am really trusting Him here. I believe that I am to really commit to Patrick's BBQ and get into the festival circuit. I have 2 that Im good on and Im working on 4 more for this year.

If these go well I'll be just fine and I'll be able to voulenteer more time serving others. That is really where my heart is at anyway.

It's kinda like skydiving, you agree to go, you suit up, you get in the plane, you take of, you get to altitude but you never jump. I guess that I got booted out of the plane. The questions is.... Will I pull the ripcord when I get scared or will I let God tell me when to do it.

Stay tuned...

Nicely put bro!! Hope that works out for ya!

[Patrick's BBQ]

The class was awesome. Everyone went home with a smoker. more details later.

I just realized I hadn't been around for about a week! Busy, Busy, Busy!

Anyway... workshop was great! It took longer than it might have, but we got 10 smokers built before 3 pm, taking our time and having some fun building the smokers.

The team of Bucky McOinkum's BBQ is now ready to compete on an XL BGE and up to 4 UDSs!

There were a lot of safety rules broken, but no loss of blood that I saw, and all appendages stayed attached... most likely because I killed my back before getting there and stayed mostly out of the way.







And Bob was ready to help out a new brethren in breaking the lighter fluid habit...

Curt was the official photographer, so to prove it we'll just have to wait on those. Definitely a good time. Other than when my wife let me know about half way there I had left some key parts behind on the porch.

Great ideal for the class the next class could be how to cook on it.
