High Altitude Smoking.
Dave, if I did that I think I'd add a 1/3 of another barrel as the lid. You could do a big turkey on top and what ever you want on the lower rack. Thank you for the info.- bcm3

High Altitude Smoking.
Bmaddox, thank you for your input on the lid. I am going to try and use 4 1 inch air intakes and see if that will work. If it does not get the air it needs I can add more or go larger.- bcm3

High Altitude Smoking.
Hello all, Looking at building a new smoker to camp with. Most of our camping is done with a altitude over 6,500 feet. Has anyone had any issues smoking at this altitude or higher? He have camped at over 8,000 feet the summer before last. Okay should I build it with 3 or 4 1 inch air intakes...- bcm3

Okay, if I go with the extension, what is the recommended material? If I was to reuse the lid from the barrel and the extension, it would work out like using a Webber grill top? Bill- bcm3

The lid is still on, so I'm able to do what ever I want to with it. Dave, I like your idea. What about using a second barrel and cut it off just below the 1st ring and flair it there to slid over the lower half of the drum?- bcm3

After a few things beyond my control this weekend, I did not start on the UDS. I did smoke some pork chops on the hill as we were working on a repeater. Sorry, no Qview as I did not have my phone with me. I'll have to remember next time. Anyway, I was thinking about the lid for it. I have some...- bcm3

Thank you everyone! Looks like a great place to hang out and learn a few more things. I’ll have to remember to start taking pictures when I try something new. I’ve enjoyed surfing behind the seen and look forward to doing more as a member. I did spend the few bones for Jeff’s E-Course. He has... -
Howdy from SW Idaho
I’m from SW Idaho and have been gas grilling for the last 21 years. Now it is time to move from the dark side and join the Smokey side. My grilling has been just the basic type of grilling. About a month or so ago I decided it was time to change things up. So for fathers day I smoked a pork butt...
