Decent Barrels
I apologize in advance for asking the same question that has been asked around here 100s of times, but I have no one else to ask...So, in the short time that I've been a member here, I've fallen in love with the UDS. A few weeks ago, I decided that I must try making one. I have come across some barrels and I wanted to run them by some of you, who are more "in the know" on these sorts of things, as to whether or not these types of barrels are gonna work for a UDS. The guy advertised them as barrels used to ship sand and aggregate which seems ok to me. They don't appear to be galvanized. So, what do you guys think, should i make the 12 dollar investment and give this thing a try or wait til I can find something more food friendly?

Thanks for the tips and the thread link.......I might just try fridge magnets for now....seems to be the easiest way.
Here all this time I never knew that Gene Simmons was such an expert bbq cook.......... :doh: Every hobby has their own special jargon just to confuse people. Quote:

Added some more mods to my UDS now that I know it can cook! Nothing special, but I want to do this stuff after I knew that it worked for me, but before paint. Not that I mind the ugliness it has acquired!
http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/7830/smalluds47.jpg "New Tool Hangers and 2nd rack Thermo" Yanked some Stainless Steel bling off of a trashed Amana gasser, and modded it to make some tool hangers. IGNORE THESE TOOLS!!! I just threw them on for pix, but I don't use them. They came free with one of the webers I got. Put another thermo probe mount just below the upper rack. They are both 12" probes. http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/1112/smalluds48.jpg "Hangers" Not pretty (yet). S hooks on a bar for tools and junk. I also did a little more "custom lid fitting", involving a linemans pliers and a hammer. I think it's a better fit now. http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/2724/smalluds49.jpg "Screw post for hanging racks" I was getting sick of putting my racks on the ground when moving things around, so I just popped a hole in the side (on right side of pic) for a bolt to stick out of. Nothing too fancy. I am still looking into options for some sort of side table(s) that I'll be happy with. Then it's strip, grind, prime, paint, and re-assemble! |

Hey gang, I have a question about the stickers you guys have on your uds?
What are those? Are they heavy duty vinyl? or metal signs? |

UDS grill grate
I've finished my first UDS except for one piece - the grilling grate. Trying to build it on the cheap without buying a grate, but I'm about to break down and spend the $20+ for a Weber replacement.
Has anyone had any luck simply cutting a piece of flexsteel in a 22" diametre circle and using it? If so, should I season it before use? How would you suggest I do it. I found an old rack in a discarded oven I could bend and weld, but I was just trying to save myself the aggravation. All suggestions appreciated! PoppaSmoke |
I did my burn today and the "red" liner is still there. The fire was HOT and it didn't do a thing to remove it. What do I have to do to get it out of there? This is my first post and my first UDS. Any help is appreciated.

That is what I was afraid of. It may be in my best interest to go to Orlando Drum Co. and purchase an unlined drum. I've read many pages on this forum and have seen the labor put into getting the inside liner ground out. Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll post pic's when I figure out how to do it.
