S-winey, if you are referring to the above photo; No! It's a 30...count the pavers...2-years, last April."
And I do more smoking in my Weber...old 23" from 1973. Doubt you could find a SS salad bowl that is 23" in diameter... Last edited by BobBill; 12-17-2020 at 08:51 AM.. |

I would not want to go any smaller than a 55 for my personal uses, and honestly wish it were bigger when cooking certain meats for more than 6-8 people. Looks like you're off to a start with a clean straight drum. Can't wait to see the finished product

Gents... What I was looking for input on was the "straight" drum (pictured), vs the traditional barrels that are all over CL.
This is a new, unlined 55 gallon straight drum with removable lid . $88. Seems like it would make a really nice UDS Stats: PART# 551A2NSM150 UN RATED 55 GALLON OPEN TOP SMOOTH SIDE STEEL DRUM - NEW - UNLINED - BOLT RING CLOSURE - SOLID LID UN1A2/Y1.5150 - UN1A2/X400/S DIMS: 24" X 24" X 34.5" Tall WEIGHT: 44LBS.

I like the look of the straight sided, open head drums. All of mine have been the normal, ribbed ones- that's all I could scrounge up.

Here is alternate exterior view of 30 gal machine... I might mention chimney square inch size has a bearing on smoking efficiency.

I just built my first Ugly Drum Smoker
Hey all you UDS experts.
I finished my first build. I've been cooking with it a ton and I love it. I made a video of the build... https://youtu.be/Ai-CwUaOs9s I'd love to get some thoughts and feedback from the pros on this forum. I doubt this will be the last one I build. Thanks! |

Use lump charcoal instead of briquettes and you'll have much less ash to deal with.

Hey all, I posted this in the Q-talk general forum. Decided to post in the UDS sub forum.(forgot about it) My question is, do you see this on your UDS exhaust? I run 275 for all my cooks and only one 1 exhaust is open at a time depending on wind. Had an issue with to much airflow back feeding into the drum when both were open the entire cook and I lost the temp I was trying to achieve and the temp got out of control. So since then I run one exhaust and my intakes open a smidge and can hold 275ish for a long time. I guess I just want to make sure I’m ok with this seeping out of my exhaust stack? It hardens up after everything is cooled down and have to moisten it to get it off. See pics of set up and issue. Thanks

I've loved cooking on it. I've posted some more videos recently! I managed to fit 6 pork shoulders on it! Here's the video for that https://youtu.be/mocdFvsLMqk Most meat I've ever cook on a UDS (or anything for that matter). |
