Well after seeing everyone using their UDS I decided that I needed to make one for myself. I picked up my barrel last week and burned it out last weekend and after a few nights of tinkering on it after work I am smoking on it as we speak.
I am hoping to find some better high temp paint. The stuff I have on it now is for engine headers and it seems to want to rub off on your hands or anything for that matter. Anyone have any other suggestions for high temp paint? This stuff is good up to 1500 degrees. But it does say you need to cure it a bit so hopefully once I bring the temps up on it things will get better. I have a 14 lb turkey in it right now and I am doing ribs tomorrow. I can't wait to see how this thing cooks. So far its holding temps pretty good. I found out the hard way to not leave the lid off for very long when putting in your meat/probes. Shot up to 400 degrees in no time. Thanks for looking at my build.
