Just finished my UDS. Have an ECB that I am upgrading from. Not too much experience but anxious to learn. Looking forward to learning a lot from the masters!
Here she is, not so ugly... I used some ideas from a couple of different google searches to come up with this design. It has adjustable rack holders. I found the barrel at a local honey producer. Had to burn out the tan liner and just this Friday seasoned it with a 4 hour 300 degree burn with the interior sprayed with cooking spray. It now has a nice chestnut color and is ready for food. Next weekend will be the inaugural cook. The family is looking forward to it.
First cook went very well. I made some baby backs and some chicken thighs. Brined the thighs. Other then my rubs being a little off they were great. The UDS held temp like a champ and burned amazingly little fuel. Great first attempt. I think I am going for fatties the next attempt.
