at long last i now have a smoker !! this is my version of a uds it was a closed end oil drum i then fitted a steel strip around the inside of the lip so the lid fitted,the lid is from an unknown kettle bbq (not weber) the pipework is copper tube with brass compression fittings as steel pipe is hard to come by in the uk,it is 22mm pipe and the internal diameter is slightly larger than 3/4 iron pipe oh just noticed my dog pickle had to get in the picture lol
i have made a charcoal basket from a supermarket shopping basket cut down and shortened into a square shape i then bolted the tray underneath but this is only a temporary measure as i am having a problem getting expanded steel nearby
i bought 2 new grill racks for food use and i have the old grill rack from the kettle bbq above the charcoal so i can put a diffuser(pizza tray) and water bowl on it i need more paint as i underestimated how many rattle cans i needed all i want now is for the weather to be dry this weekend to fire it up season it ,then cook something probably chicken
