A few weeks ago I built my first UDS. I liked they way it cooked and its capacity much more than any store bought smoker I've had. Now that I had used it for a few weeks I set out to build a better one. I scavenged vents and handles from my Masterbuilt Pro that had rotted on the bottom and this is what I got. I also made a charcoal box out of a 22.5 grate and expanded metal. The temp control is so much easier with this one. I also included a pic of a 5 pound brisket I smoked on it. The brisket was gone in about 10 minutes.
