one more question, where can you buy the threaded thermometers? Looks like 3/4 or inch nipple around off the dial

The 12" one will get to the middle. The "R" part of the number means that it can be re-calibrated.

I'm collecting parts to build a UDS. Do these smokers require a diffuser? How do they perform with one and without one?

It is well worth the time to read this thread from the beginning. You will find several areas of discussion regarding diffusers.

No they do not require a diffuser. you ought to read this thread before you shut it down for the evening. :-P

Boshizzle 01-31-2010 06:57 PM
I've read it, but there doesn't seem to be a consensus on the diffuser thing. I'm thinking that if I ever want to try a hot and fast brisket cook that it may burn if there isn't a diffuser in there.

Having the meat drip directly on the coals is a major part of the UDS concept. Having the grate 24" from the bottom of the charcoal basket is key to not burning the meat. Many people believe in turning briskets during the cook, but others leave it fat cap down without turning.

Boshizzle 01-31-2010 07:02 PM
I guess I will just have to experiment. I don't usually turn brisket, but I can change my ways if I have to. I have read a lot about the drippings in the charcoal but never tried it. So, I'll just have to wait and see. If I ever get a drum, I will post some results of my experiments.

I am looking for the threaded thermos that norco used in his first build and on his tutorial. Any idea where you find the threaded ones?

thanks

Norco used the one from Spicewine Ironworks. Spice is a Brethren.

Make something temporary to start with. Cook with and without a diffuser and decide which you prefer. I used the oriiginal ash pan from the donor weber I used. Drilled 2 7/8" holes in the bottom so it was able to allow those nice juices to get to the coals.

My first cook went well with the diffuser, but my next will be without so I can decide which i prefer.

im about half way doen with my UDS build. i cut the top off my drum so the weber lid will fit. the ? is.. is there a type of rubber gasket that i could put on the drum.. not only to keep myself from cutting myself but to help keep the heat in.

Did you cut off the entire rim or just inside it?
