Stuffed with just cheese. Wrapped with bacon. Memphis rub.
Coals are starting now. |
Voila! I smoked a Fatty!
[IMG]http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/s...5E118253EB.jpg[/IMG] Pulled it off at 161* internal temp. Let it rest for 2-3 minutes then got hungry looking at it and started eating. YUM! |
I found this german website with a ton of interesting UDS builds. Neat to look at even if you do not sprechen Deutsch. Some of these guys have put some serious time into their works!

Those are some great builds. Wish i could read them; probably some solid info
|
Sorry I didn't post the translation link. Dadsr4 got it. My german is a little weak, but I can get by, so I didn't use it.
|
ok, one of the reasons i joined this fine site , was to eventually build my own UDS.....
my question.....can these UDS's be thermally insulated, say with a layer of fiberglass insulation on the OUTSIDE of the UDS, and then wrap that in something, like a canvas wrap or something? would a thermally insulated UDS perform better? |

Somewhere on here a guy has built a wooden box around his, filled with insulation and stated it used less coal. You have to decide if that is what you want. Be inventive and let us know! I built my UDS's to get the same temps as my Acorn, 750 deg +. Just because I wanted to get those temps for searing meat and cooking pizza's. Beside being able to smoke for 17+ hrs without having to touch the drum when required. ( Doing one smoke right after the other). As you can see from this thread there in no end in options to building UDS's. |
Cheers to both of you! I wasn't looking forward to dealing with insulation.

I know everyone is sold on banded lid cans with a Weber lid, but there are so many fitting issues, gaskets, cutting and grinding and leaks. I was dump diving in the metal bin, despite how the Dump Troll feels about this, and found a Kingsford top. It fits like a glove over the drum I have. Drum is unlined, with top cut off by a cutter that rolled the edge. I can put the lid on and shake the drum by the handle, and the top won't move but it easily comes off. Its an old model kettle grill, but if you find one pay for it. It will be worth it in the long run. [IMG]http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...unnamed-21.jpg[/IMG]

Just joined the Brethren this week due to this amazing thread! I've been through the first fifty or so pages and the amount awesome tips and info has been incredible! I must say an entertaining read as well. I'll be picking up a drum in the next couple weeks for my first UDS. It's been awhile since I've this excited!
I'm not sure it's possible to read this entire thread without taking a week off from work, but I'm thinking about it! |
