What not to do with a UDS...PRON!

[Philly-QueMaster]

So I made a buddy of mine a UDS last summer for his birthday. Last week he let his brother-in-law borrow it for a birthday party he was having. They cooked up some ribs and everyone loved the food and were commenting on how easy the drum was to cook on. Anyways they must have had too much to drink because they left the drum unattended over night and woke up to this. Apparently he woke up early the next morning to see smoke in his back yard. This was the after math. I just had to laugh...but it could have been much worse.

Pine isn't a good wood for smoking.

Good thing it wasn't worse. Gotta be extra careful with the wood decks. I see a project for him this weekend!:becky:

Yep, i'd say alcohol was a definite factor :heh::heh:

Is there a way to hide a thread from lurkers??????

I don't want the MRS to sell my new drums before I get home.........

 

[ColretBBQer]

Wow! Serious lesson learned...He will never hear the last of that one from the Mrs.:icon_shy

 

[wildflower]

Yep, he will never hear the end of that :doh:

thats the reason i use my UDS on the driveway.

 

[Philly-QueMaster]

Yeah this is pretty crazy. I would have told him to at least put a couple bricks under the drum to keep it off the deck. Apparently they wanted to replace this deck anyways.

He's lucky he's not replacing the house too...........:shocked: In a way, this is a testament as to how well the UDS can hold heat and how long of a hot burn you can get out of em. They are some efficient cookers!

Uhmmm.... OOPS?:shocked:

 

[BuckSnort]

I know this could have been serious and some may not consider it a laughing matter...Having said that...LMAO !:heh:

"Be sure to read any and all directions before engaging in the use of this product"

Musta skipped the page about putting it on a couple of bricks...

 

[Smoke & Beers]

No laughing matter is right...but at least the drum is alright:wink:

 

[deguerre]

I guess that's the penalty for drumming under the influence.

 

[Alan in Ga]

Wow that could have been bad If I use mine in my deck I brick the heck out of them then drink to much.

Drums are so easy to cook on, they'll even cook up a double batch of, "OH S@#£!!!".
Somebody got VERY lucky! How was the food though?

[Philly-QueMaster]

Everyone loved the ribs...and several people were interested in having drums built for them. As long as the food was good that is most important right?? Lol.

 

[fshnwiz]

THAT is the very reason I have an elevated basket with its own ash catcher and my pretty drum smoker is on wheels.
