Any and all help greatly appreciated!
Lump only in my drum.

My UDS...Alabama style. Right now I'm using magnets for the Alabama logos, but I plan to paint something on to make it permanent when I get the time.

Help! I got a cover for my UDS but left it on the concrete and after a big storm, it filled with water and is rusted and the charcoal basket is moldy from the last round of drippings that I was too lazy to clean. Is this a dead UDS or is there a way to save it?

The only way to kill a UDS is to rust it clean thru or to subject it to nuclear radiation. It takes a lot longer than one night to rust thru that much steel.

Just rinse the gunk out and give it a good hard burn. Good as new :thumb:

Non high heat paint
 
Has anyone ever painted a UDS with regular non high heat paint? Did it hold up? Kinda sick of all mine being high heat flat black.

Are you making a commentary about your Alabama teams? :wink:I see you are using an offset toilet flange for the vent, very inventive.:-P

You all have done nice work. Just burned out one the other night. while listening to the Red sox loose:mad2: before the wins.:shocked:

Go to any automotive parts house and get engine or header paint. Available is various colors besides black :thumb:

I only use Rustoleum from WalMart. Mine are holding up just fine but I never get them above 350 or so and usually just smoke at 225 to 250.

What's the deal with that lid? I feel like I've seen it before on a bunch of different drums... but I cant recall what the heck it is. Anyone?

I buy the dome lid from Turner Biodiesel and modify it to fit my BUFORD style smokers. Adds more room and seals nicely.

I've built 4 BUFORD smokers using that dome lid;
