New UDS

[expatpig]

My latest UDS. I made the charcoal basket with an adjustable bottom so I could raise it up for grilling. Pizza pan for an ash pan held on with return springs for easy removal. Two short test cooks, sausage and chicken worked great. Hope to be doing a butt this weekend if the weather cooperates.

Looks good. What are you using for exhaust stack?

I have a 6'' long piece of 2" conduit that I screw on when I cook.

Kick arse idea on the adjustable coal grate. Amazes me the mods folks come up with for these drums. When you think you've seen it all.............BAAMM!! A new mod comes up. That is sweet. Nice drum. Congrats.

Buying all of the pieces in Canada was expensive,although I get my drums free, the total parts cost was about $200.

Still cheap for a good smoker

Oh yea, It's still well worth it, I could have scrimped on the cooking grates, and not used stainless fasteners, plus I added a "open bottle here" bottle opener.

Very nice! Just curious, why did you go with a hinged grate?
