Hinges work better for multiple grates, they flip up as you lift lower grate and you can flip them up before putting in lower grate.

I completed a new drum smoker last week. I bought the floating hinge assembly from Mark Hunsaker plus the lid handle. The bottom vent I got from Big Poppa smokers, as it is for a medium size fan for use with my DIGI Q. I splurged and bought a cast iron grate from Napoleon. I LOVE it! I can use it without the fan, and with the stack it hits and holds the temps right on the nuts. I use a basket I bought from Jeff on Giveittogodbbq.com
I couldn't be happier. The rest of the parts I got at Home Depot. Here are a few pics.Happy Smoking Farkers!! |
Temperature be damned... I'm smoking Pork Butt tomorrow.
Meat rubbed and resting, will be ready to go on the UDS in the morning http://i1305.photobucket.com/albums/...psqmb0zoip.jpg |

With a vertical smoker, I'm in the mindset, as far as away from the fire is best. If I want to get closer, I can. |

About the only time I use two grates at once is for ribs. It works well if do spares on the lower grate and baby backs on the upper. That way I don't need to rotate them. I put the temp probe at the lower grate and the temp difference has them done pretty much at the same time. |

looking at the 2017 kcbs team of the year results,
it looks like THREE of the top 5 teams are cooking on UDS. if thats the case, WOW. lowly drum in high places. 2. Shake N Bake bbq 3. Gettin' Basted 5. Big Poppa Smokers. Can anyone confirm that these teams are indeed cooking on drums? |
Question for you guys. A business owner local to me is selling 55 gallon drums for 60$ bare metal on the inside with no liners or coatings and was used once to store coconut oil. Is that a fair price? It's appealing to me because I won't have to burn it out.
|
Hinds that seems fair since it is ready to go. I can get a stainless one here in PHX for about $75. I will never go through the pain of having to burn out a liner etc again.

In hindsight, I wish I had bought a few as opposed to just the one. |

but even at $60 I would still buy an unlined drum for the convenience. at that price you can still have less than $120 in the cooker. |
