Seasoning the UDS
Ok The drum is mostly built. I sprayed down the inside with PAM. Put a basket of K in the drum and poured about 3/4 chimney of lit on top. Put all in the drum and set the weber top vents nearly all the way open. I currently have only the ball valve open and temp is running around 288.
Is this a good temp to season at? Does it matter? Nothing cooking yet. |

Congratulations on your new DrumPit!!!!
That temp is alright for seasoning it up!! When I set up for a cooking session I lite about 15 Briqs in my chimney. I try to catch my target Cooking temp on the way up. It's harder to lower your temp to Prime Smoking temp. |

I had opened all the inlets for a moment when I started. Now I have just the one and the temp seems to have been steady for 45 minutes or so. |

This reading is from an Acurite probe sitting on the grid near the middle. I bought it because it was relatively cheap and I thought I had seen some here. Is this a decent digital thermometer?
I need to install a drum temp therm. I have seen several on the forums. Any recomendations? |

Welcome to the drum corps!!
My drum runs at 238 all day at center. Like Nate said, only about 12-15 briquettes to start, will come up to temp in about 15 mins. Let us know how it runs with the intake riser, most have tried and later removed it.
