I joined this forum long ago for UDS information and never got around to building one. Then came the kits, and the prefabbed versions (PBC, Hunsaker, Gateway) and I got the itch all over again - but never pulled the trigger.
Found this little gem by the side of the road waiting on the metal scavengers to scoop it up and thought I'd beat them to it.
So, I'm soliciting ideas for turning this into a UDS or other type of cooker. While its origin was a Craftsman air compressor, somebody wanted an air storage tank - thus the oxygen regulator and schrader valve on top. As a UDS it might only hold one or two pork butts (about 16" dia.) but still the price is spot on. Thinking of cutting the cap end off the top and banding it for a lid, which puts the cooking grate below the top - caps are pretty heavy by themselves.
Again, any ideas - thoughts - encouragement - discouragement is welcome. This is more of a placeholder thread as my current project list is full. Thanks for looking.
