Hi

Im from North Lincolnshire and am a noob when it comes to smoking. Done 3 on my current BBQ and hooked so building me a UDS.

Bit of a techie so already built myself a 3 probe remote thermometer using a raspberry pi so I can check temps from anywhere in the world. (ie. The beer aisle in tesco).

Will have many questions.

I was just wondering what i can do next with my Raspberry Pi, plans please? lol
 
Where did people who built their own UDS get the expanded steel make the charcoal bucket?

Everywhere B&Q, WIckes, Homebase only seem to sell galvanised steel.

Currently recuperating after ankle surgery so I've had to resort to online shopping only for a few weeks.
 
Yeah my only concern is it's not what they say it is, I've had a google and I can get it from wholesalers...but obviously not super cheap!
 
Get a replacement ProQ  coal basket and bolt on the base of a cheap BBQ (£12 eBay) to use as a ash catcher, then you can play with different coal methods, minion etc. Also the air intakes gets to the coals more evenly and control is better. Lot easier than mucking about with expanded metal. All credit to Miss Piggy BBQ go to her website and there's one on show
 
Hi Leoric

Welcome to the forum. There are a growing number of Brits on here - I am from Kent so not too far from you. The UK group is fully integrated into the whole forum and is seen by all members and many of our US colleagues are active contributors. We do, however try to tackle some of the challenges that are more specific to the UK. A good start to the smoker. What are your plans for the top? Do you have a concept already or ae you going to play it by ear? Don't forget we like lots of photos on here

Thanks Wade,

I do have a plan for the top - I'm going to cast a concrete top with a central duct to vent the smoke.  I did some rough plans before starting so I had something to work to.  Hope to get up another 9 or 10 courses and get the lintels in for the doors this weekend, will update with some photos!
