First cook. 3 1/2 hrs, fall off the bone tender, I prefer a little bite but the ms had other plans. Tomorrow 2 tritip, 2 chickens and pork butt. More to come.
|
Finally got it finished. Want to let it set a couple of days for the paint to cure a bit before the first fire.

Good looking uds

Nice! Got my pipes yesterday gonna paint them at least today. If my dad can find his hole saws I hopefully can get them on today.
|
Can’t wait to see how it looks. We used a step drill for the holes. Made it super easy.
|
Got them painted but will try and install them later. Nothing fancy about the paint , just doing flat black high temp on this drum. Gonna make 2 more this year for competing and will probably make them pretty! Looking at the VHT line of paint. Like that anodized look!

UDS overhaul
My UDS needed some work. I built it about a year ago and made some beginner mistakes.
Since I don't have any welding skills I tried to keep it as simple as possible. So my lid handle was too small. Even for my small hands. Especially with gloves on. https://i.imgur.com/iZwkRd8m.jpg I found this thing in my shed under "things I should have thrown out but I thought they might be useful some day and what do you know I found a use for it". Anyone care to guess what that used to be? https://i.imgur.com/irv9aDAl.jpg Then I added some probe holes. I recently bought a six probe thermometer. Six holes now. Covered with magnets. https://i.imgur.com/hnPArR3l.jpg You might notice I had some rust. I didn't cover the barrel until mid winter. By then it was wet for weeks. So my not perfect paint job didn't hold. https://i.imgur.com/ckK7f6Nl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wB8n4Ecl.jpg I bought this rust removal thing for my angle grinder. http://i.imgur.com/SJYmZ0ll.jpg And I started to work. https://i.imgur.com/QnFhKCbl.jpg |
I didn't realize the barrel was... Barrel shaped. Round with curves. This was not easy. Two hours later I was exhausted but I got all the rust I could see.
Next was the paint. https://i.imgur.com/3fefOdul.jpg And the next day it's ready to cook. https://i.imgur.com/0EmPz8Vl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Ty56wnLl.jpg But did you guess the handle's origin?:twisted: |

I'm trying so hard to make a Beavis & Butthead reference to the barrel's bung hole, but it's early and I haven't had my full cup of coffee yet. |
@oferL

on a quest to find the easiest simplest charcoal box for a UDS
CLAY BASKET FOR UDS prep time :2-3 minutes work involved: drill a few holes level of effort: 1/10 cost $15 source: lowes size :15" diameter x 6" height burn time: unknown. guessing 10-12 hours if loaded, maybe more. pros. good burn profile. heat stayed stable cons: cracked on first use.but I have a feeling that was a one time thing and will be fine going forward.burn pic is after 4 hours at 275 degreeshttps://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/a...1&d=1523416482 https://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/a...1&d=1523416482 |
