I keep a text file with UDS tips. Here are the location tips I have.
Check bakeries,truck stop/oil change places, bulk oil terminals,hydraulic shops,transmission shops,machine shops-coolant. Might also check environmemtal clean up companies. (Not me) "I get them from my local oil/gas distributor. brand new- $20." |

Intake Options..
Question for guys..... What is the best air intake at the bottom of the barrel? I have seen conflicting opinions. Some say the 3/4 pipe with valves are too small. Some say the sliders like from the BGE /Kamado Joes are too big. Some say the vent should be on the bottom of the barrel, instead of the side.
Anyone tried a few of these options and have it down where they'd do it the same way again on your next build(s)? Thanks Larry |
I have a related question, how many intakes do you need?

there are two air requirements in a UDS, getting up to temp, and keeping temp. keeping temp requires surprising little air intake. a 3/4" hole would provide all the air needed assuming sufficient coals. getting up to temp efficiently needs more air. I use two one inch intakes to get up to temp but then after that about half of a 3/4 intake can keep temp. simplest option is probably a 2" ball valve and just close it down as you get to temp. |

I have never had any issues with wind with my intake on the side. how much wind gets into half of a .75" opening?

I get some pretty windy conditions south of Houston too which is why I settled on the hunsaker style intake.
