Being from Louisiana I am for LSU all the way, I even have a purple UDS, I have posted a picture of it before. I had the LSU smoker at the office cooking ribs one Friday and the postman just happened to delay delivery until time to eat!! It so happens he hates LSU (Damn him) So he wanted me to to build him a Florida Gators UDS, It went against everything I believe in But I did it anyway. Here is a few pictures of it for all the Florida brethen. You cant see it but it has a 3/4 ball valve on a 24" pipe on the back.
Thanks for all the help everyone, I'm not the handiest guy around so bare with me through all my questions, I will post pics shortly, I'm starting my build on Friday. I just received my donor lid and cooking grates tonight. I'm fairly sure they are from the first Weber grill ever made and have been sitting in a shed out in the country for a loooong time. What is the best way to clean old grill grates and the inside of the lid? I think I remember reading spraying with oven cleaner and sealing up in a garbage bag and leaving them out in the sun for a day. Does this work? is there a better way?
Hey guys. I'm new to BBQ smoking and to this forum. First I would like to thank everyone it this forum you guys have helped me out a lot. I've randomly read through this post for the past month or so to get some great info and ideas. Well last Friday I found a 30 gal drum and made me a smoker. Now this is my first drum smoker I got the Brinkman for Fathers day. So I'm really new to this. I've only tried chicken so far. And I didn't screw it up. It was good. LOL I have a question and if anyone could give me some info that would be great. Is it ok to use Aluminum in the UDS? I know something has been mentioned or I heard it somewhere. But I've read so much in the past month or so I can't get it right if you are or not able to. Anyone with any info. Thanks
At first I was trying to find an old Weber lid. I was talking to a friend that said he had a commercial grade Alum pot so I figured I would try that. I just checked to see if it would fit. Its about 19 1/2. Has a little over hang but seems to fit snug. So the only thing I have to worry about is it melting all over my food. LOL That would suck! Does anyone know what is the melting temp is? Just to have an idea and so I can keep and eye on it. Its thicker than a regular pot you would use to boil noodles. I kinda let it cook took long the chicken was good but the wings were kind of crispy. I like them like that though. I smoked a Roast for my girlfriend but it was sort of tough. Like I said I left it cook to long. What kind of Beef roast is good to use on the UDS? I can't get the pics to upload so I'll try later.
