First UDS
1 Attachment(s)
Hello All,
I've been lurking around here for a while, long enough to get motivated and build my first UDS. I am hooked to say the least. Here is a picture of my first build. Pretty standard design from what I've read. |
very nice Drum Dude!!!
|
Thank you Sir! May start my second one this weekend. Believe it or not I'm on the hunt for an SS barrel
|
Nice build, Hanasdaddyo! Me thinks the standard K.I.S.S build is the cats meow!! Thank Noreco!!
|
Actually, I think of my little collection of smokers, this one may be my favorite which my wife thinks is pretty ironic given the cost....
|
Hanasdaddyo, is that a SWM lid? I can't see from the picture if the lid you have there creates a good seal.
Very nice job!! |

It's a Weber kettle lid, hammered out, with a fireplace gasket held by Rutland cement and 4 corner brackets screwed on the inside to keep it from sliding off. I'm a property manager in a university town so i snag abandoned grills when i spot em. This one was in the sun long enough to turn it gray!
|
$$ wise, I'd say about 50. The weber thermo rang up as a $10 dryer vent at the hardware store, so that, the paint, the ball valve and some fasteners were all I had to buy. The rest I cabbaged onto or had in stock.
I did buy a MIG welder today but you cant really count that. I plan to amortize it across several more of these things! |
Very sweet ride:thumb:

Gettin closer on my build. Seasoned with canola oil. Just need to mount my grate and get a lid:D Fire basket complete.
I'm fairly confident there was no liner or coating in my barrel. It was used for wiper fluid. I was starting to get some rusting inside which tells me it's bare metal. I hit it with a flapper wheel and it really just shined it up inside but was still the same black color. I've already done a 6 hour burn on it. Any one else used a barrel containing wiper fluid? |
