Introducing.....my first UDS....and first smoker at all!

Great build. Go Panthers and War Damn Eagle.

 

[Heavy J]

I think the Patriots would be an excellent choice.

That is one sweet looking drum. Great job

Yeah I wasn't too keen on the look of pipes sticking out at the bottom so I made a sliding intake using some ideas from different people on this site. It's made out of aluminum flashing and pop rivets. The plan is to eventually replace it with a nice BGE sliding intake.

I'm hoping all goes well and the wifey enjoys the food so I can justify making another one....either Patriots or Clemson. I really enjoyed the masking and painting part of building this one!

Cool I made slide vents from aluminum flashing as well

So the first meal was 2 racks of ribs. They came out pretty good. I had a couple temperature spikes so I just need to get to know te smoker and then vent door. The wife and kids loved them so thats all that matters. Next weekend I'll try my hand at a boston butt. Here are some more pics....

No need to spend money on a BGE slider, you got what it is. Now go buy some meat with the money saved.

Great looking drum and ribs!

I would say that your first cook was a success those ribs looks great. It won't take but a couple of times to figure out the temp control. Just open it up and let it cook. Good job.

Nice looking UDS.

 

[Pig Daddy]

Wow. That looks great! Is the art work painted, or is that a decal? If it's a decal, where did you get it from? Just wondering as I am getting ready assemble one and want to place our logo upon it.
