Pitmaster T and Popdaddy's UDS Thread (Movie) and Indexing to come

[Pitmaster T]

Here it is... the Ultimate UDS (Upright Drum Smoker) Movie... if for anything but its length.

Popdaddy and Pitmaster T's - Ultimate UDS Movie - YouTube

There are little surprises on the way



Music is a gift to TRUFUNK.... the song Chapter and Verse was recorded days ago in a Live Jam.


All people I got inspiration are credited as well as the forum to help pour more members in to see our colossal UDS Threads; which is just like a PBC, only larger.

[Pitmaster T]

Chapters and Verse... and the purse is gettin' fatta,
Tha people clapping louder than tha rest of the wretched chatter..
The blessin's and the curses for those that never matter
Cuz when My beat drop they scatter!
Scatter to the Dance flo... S into the DF

U can admit it if the If the truth comes first
unto the justice were committed....
while all them other brothas... gettin' their orange suits fitted.

[---k---]

Did you really need to go there at the end?

[jrn]

That was cool! Enjoyed it. Funkin' Funktastic!

[jrn]

The only place he went was Home Depot. :mrgreen:

[Pitmaster T]

Did you really need to go there at the end?

I dunno, do you think you could FIND a sense of humor?

Thanks for the publicity... now everyone will wonder what you're talking about and check out the end. These guys are brethren members and have done much for the UDS... and are worthy of stealing from. Some have indeed have just left their fatter Q Spouses (the UDS for those too stupid or Baised to not realize I am talking about Drums here) to take a newer, younger, slimmer and tighter model around the block a few times.

[Pitmaster T]

Did I say Howm depot> I meant Lowes... actually I found all the parts I bought 4 years ago just last week... :-( Brass Valves, nipples everything. About $150 worth of **** I bought and misplaced so I had to buy it all again.

Which kinda makes you think.... a PBC would actually be cheaper wouldn't it? With the discount its like a hundred bucks and ready to go with a LOT less hassle.

[jrn]

Well now you've got enough to build another barrel! I went with 3 intakes like you did but put pipe caps on two of'em and just screwed a ball valve onto the third, no pipe. That'll save some money like that.

[Pitmaster T]

Yeah I will probably take the second pipe off and place it on my stainless model.

The thing is... and many of you with brains and reading comprehension above a 7th grader have been writing me and telling me... yes, I have been on the side of the PBC... a little funky, but the intelligent got it....and no, I speak not of ones that were simply "offended" by equating the PBC owner with having a larger schlong than the UDS owner... I get that.

Of course if you think hard on it... could I have not bought a damn PBC or BDS in 2008 and have been USING it instead of moving it over the miles and all over the garage until I had the time or spare money to contruct a UDS? Someone is in the same situation now I was in.

I know I have a writing style that intentionally obfuscates a bit so you have to really look to see what I am saying but in a thread a while back... I think the one where I even defended a brethren that I do not get along with because I thought it was wrong someone insinuated he might be in cahoots with the PBC company, well I will say it more directly. I said he wasn't. Look, piddling is fun... but some of us have good intentions but not enough time to get the project done. And who says you can't lay down a hungred bucks or so and not buy a BPS kit, or fully made D-Meat Smoker, Pit Barrel Cooker or BDS and tweak that. heck we have two that have already started the tweaking.

I can say one thing.... you can piddle with your instrument all day long but if the game ain't right you won't be getting any trophies. So Build one if you want, but eventually you will need that time back to perfect your rub, technique, etc.

[Freddy j]

I like how you brought a lot of the tips that have evolved over time into 1 build video. I have always wondered (on the intakes) what is the science behind the vertical pipe? Does it act differently than if you just mounted the valve directly to the hole in the bottom of the drum?

Well it certainly keeps one from bending over to adjust it!:biggrin1:

Not speaking on behalf Pitmaster T, but I'll share my experiences-

I think it really helps with the smoker being affected by wind factors, and perhaps with fluid dynamics, but I'm no physicist. But yes, I like my draft pipe. I think it's all part of a whole that is the beauty of the UDS.

[Pitmaster T]

U like the ease of reach but hey... think about it... I see guys that use refrigerator magnets over holes and RARELY ever change it. I mean I hate to bring up the PBC again but I was obviously stolen from. I am the arbitor of 275 degrees. The PBC is set it and forget it... and from what I am told it cooks at 275 whether its 70 or 29.

I like the uptakes for two reasons...one, I worry less about draft and I proved that the other day. Two... I like the look.
as you comment on my underlined part, I wonder if you realize its a joke

Thanks J that makes sense

[Freddy j]

U like the ease of reach but hey... think about it... I see guys that use refrigerator magnets over holes and RARELY ever change it. that is true and I'm thinking that these guys are shooting for a "range" vs a "temp" throughout thier cook. I also wonder if these guys are in a climate that has less severe swings throughout the year (unlike mine).

The PBC is set it and forget it... and from what I am told it cooks at 275 whether its 70 or 29.
I'm sure it can, if you adjust the intake accordingly. I've only used it twice and it held a consistent temp VERY well but I closed the intake by about 1/2 the factory setting to get 275 (again, cold, dry air here in Boston today). It held 275 throughout my rib cook but when I removed the meat, it ran empty at 325 (no adjustment to the intake).


I like the uptakes for two reasons...one, I worry less about draft and I proved that the other day. Two... I like the look.
Ok, eliminating the draft issue is a great thing and I also like the look.

[Neonnblack]

I used magnets on mine, although ive only had it for a few weeks now. They were fine, but they like to fall off if they get to cold or hot, depending on the magnet. I'm now using a slider system.

Did you build that urself? I hear there are kits. I saw one on a stainless and really, when I make the stainless one, I would rather have a slide than some ugly iron pipe

Some guys are using the bge slider on their drums. Looks really slick on a stainless drum. BPS sells just the slider vent also.

[Freddy j]

Did you really need to go there at the end?

Yes he did, because, as my conspiracy theory will prove, Pitmaster T is actually the owner of PBC. Please read this with an open mind and don't be too eager to dismiss.

I've come to enjoy the satire, innuendo, and good humor of pits threads and videos. Anyone can tell you "how much" to use, but make a vid with great music and celebrities names to direct back to the forum? That's just being clever.

Anyway, Gene Simmons once said that "there's no such thing as bad publicity," and here is my conspiracy theory:

Pitmaster T creates the PBC and company and hires some actors to make videos how to use it and pose as the actual owners. He also gets P.D. To endorse it (albeit a little over zealous and this was part f the plan). Meanwhile, pit remains quiet and away from the forum.

Then suddenly (just before Super Bowl weekend, the mother of all outdoor cooking weekends), pit goes on the offensive with "controversial" publicity about the PBC and WHAMMO! A Spike in sales and PBC posts here on the forum!

Only pitmaster t could be patient enough to mastermind a pla like this and land kingsford as a sponsor (notice the fuel he uses in his uds video and calls the viewers attention to?)

Anyway, great plan Pitmaster T, very clever and I hope you make millions off of this!

yes but YOUR drum was feature for all to see as the type of inspiration this forum offers.

as far as P.D and me being the same person... He is a white guy. So that would not be possible... as I am orange.

[Freddy j]

... as I am orange.

slathering yourself in pig-honey doesnt count. good for the skin though....

[Neonnblack]

Did you build that urself? I hear there are kits. I saw one on a stainless and really, when I make the stainless one, I would rather have a slide than some ugly iron pipe

Yep. I used zinc plated sheet from HD. The heat at the bottom of the barrel isn't enough to burn the zinc off. So not worried about that. They are kinda crude, but its a uds and it does what I want. I'll post some pics when I get home.

[Neonnblack]

Some guys are using the bge slider on their drums. Looks really slick on a stainless drum. BPS sells just the slider vent also.

I wsa going to buy those, until i saw the 30 dollar price tag a PIECE for a small piece of sheet metal. Mine came out to a 1.75 for four, plus i have enough sheet to make another 4 or 5.

Yeah. The purpose of the video was not Our audience but outside "us". You will note along the way it talks about how many hitz our forum has for the UDS, where certain threads are and which post a tip came from.

The purpose is not to show how I built a UDS 4 years behind everyone else but that the Brethren still inspires me and can inspire other as well.

Oddly ther eseems to be a counting error YOUTUBE is havign these days.
And of course people do come into our forum from videos. My data on how long they view a video is surprising even to me... unless, its because of the music, LOL.

Actual 27 million hit UDS Thread Index Pictorials by Subject for the 2007 Model year

How I am doing this.

We all know the colossal UDS Thread is too much to read. Imagine indexing it. There is only really one way to do it so that it will be done in a reasonable amount of time; by pictorial submission and by year. Who wants to wait 5 years for me to index the damn thing. In addition, I like the Year Model Idea because the UDS changed and evolved over the years.

Why I chose pictorials.

The reason I chose to skip along the thread and stopping at the pictorials is because either a picture was shown to answer a question, or to show off a new idea... either way, before or after the picture, there was discussion so if you scroll back or forward a bit you can pick up what you need quickly.

I really have no idea if anyone wants me to do this. It look like it needed to be done because while reading the UDS thread and its 211 pages is great for absorbing info, when you are trying to find something someone offered, its hard... real hard.

It is hard also to do it. Please let me know if you want me to continue or I will spend time on something less constructive... like uh...

Outstanding!!! Kudos for undertaking such a daunting project!!!

I Fully Agree with Nate !! I got away from completing My UDS but after seeing this thread...I still have the Basket and most of the Parts that I had gathered for the project...now I just need a good drum and I will finish my project...thanks for rekindling the Fire for Me !! :clap2:

[Pappy]

Thank you for building this thread. This is quite a task that you have taken on. It is an honor to be tagged “King of the Add On’s”. Making somthing that makes life a little easier has to be one of my favorite things to do. My dad liked to tinker in his shop and that’s where I think I got it from. He would say “I’m making something out of nothing”.

[jrn]

This will definitely help stop the same basic uds questions being asked over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over!

Seriously thanks Pimaster T, I know you spent some time on this! I wish it'd been up when I was researching my 1st uds build! :clap::clap::clap::clap:

:hail:

This is monumental!

[Pitmaster T]

I can feel it... i am tired... worst part is in order to do this you HAVE to read each page....so... you end up going "fark!!!! I wish I had of seen that."

I also am depressed that I think Norcoredneck stole one of my ideas before I thought of it. I was so thinkin I was the only one who thought of that.

[gtr]

Farking amazing, sir. Seriously. :clap:

BTW I built my UDS mainly just to have a father/son project (it's a fanfarkingtastic father/son project btw), but I use that thing all the time. It really is an amazing cooker, especially for the cost.

This was a BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!

2010 will come out the day I get a farkin PBC.

Hope you farkers appreciate what I have Farking done for y'alls azz. Especially those who get tired of reading this chit Like I did.

[Pitmaster T]

Phil... its time to make this a roadmap as we discussed. Mostly those who have NOT built one will look at this. Also, if you showed and telled and want to find your original post its listed under the appropriate section under the year you originally posted it. Sorry if I misspelled any names. There were a lot who posted their UDS photo and never posted again... of course... once you build the most perfect smoker in existence, what would you need us for anymore.

[rifraf]

Thank You so much Donnie!!! Your work here is greatly appreciated. :clap2: :clap2: Thank you for all your hard work!!
