I just bought a new 85 gallon drum. It's a big, beautiful, clean, yellow drum. I can't wait
to get started on it.
I built a 55 gal. UDS a couple years ago so I've got one build already under my built.
For those of you with 85 gal. UDS's, did you use the same basic specs as a regular one?
MY 55 has 3 - 3/4" intakes (one ball valve and two capped), and I used 8 - 1/2" holes in the lid
for the exhaust.
Are these specs ok to use on an 85? I'm not into going mod crazy. I want to stick as close as
possible to an original drum smoker. Do these bigger drums run as good as a 55? I'll get some
pictures up when I'm done, but I also need to order a cooking grate.
