I finally finished my first UDS. The pulled pork it cranked out was amazing, I'm becoming the neighborhood BBQ Guru thanks to you guys. This has a Turkey therm mod, 3-3/4 intakes with one gate valve. Painted John Deere green. I used mostly parts that I found here and there. Total cost to build, about $10.

Easily made up from savings by not eating out.

And be glad you did! The second, third, fourth time you use it.

I have a quick question. I ma getting a reconditioned drum. This drum has been media blasted on the inside and rinsed. Will a burn out still be necessary to clean the inside or will I need it to to remove the paint from the outside?

Norcoredneck 05-12-2009 06:18 AM
I'd burn it just to be safe, besides nothing like a roaring fire to make you feel manly!

StayDown 05-12-2009 07:26 AM
So a burn is what I will do...will that take all the paint off the outside?

I can't wait to cook in this thing

Leave air intakes shut down for another 5 minutes then open it back up to where you had it before and the temp spikes will be almost nonexistent.
Thats a great tip... Thanks!!!

Leave it if it doesn't peel, scuff it and paint. Unless you want the classy look.

StayDown 05-12-2009 10:32 AM
I could care less about classy as long as I get great Q out of it!

Would the system used in this picture work well for your air intake? Is the reason you guys use ball valves because this system would leak too much air?

I was thinking of using a system like this or air vents from a weber kettle so that I don't have anything sticking out of the sides. I want my UDS to be highly mobile.

You sound like a good candidate for magnets over the holes.
What type of lid are you looking at using?

If you dont want anything sticking out from the sides, just drill your 4 3/4 inch holes and use flat strips of magnets to cover as much of the hole as you need covered. OR use plugs to plug the holes. BDS's work that way

click on the mini1427 and youll see the hole at the bottom. He uses plugs to cover the holes.
