    Not a UDS but... a UDR?

    Yeah I'm going to throw a cookie sheet in there and see if it helps with heat, also I found that raking the coals to the front of the baskets helps alot and using small splits of wood and charcoal.

    I was looking for an 'al pastor' spit like they have in Mexico. I'm still messing around with it a little. Trying to get more heat to come out the front not just the top.

    UDS Parts in Canada?

    I meant the tear drop dampers and stuff that you see. I have a 1.25" intake and didn't want to spend $30 on a ball valve for it.

    UDS Parts in Canada?

    Has anyone found a decent supplier of UDS parts in Canada? Lots online out of the US of A but the shipping rates climb quickly.

    Having issues with higher temps...

    I've got that exact diffuser plate that was posted but never use it because it kills my temps. I tried on the weekend and with the plate off I was getting around 270 and with it on around 200 with all vents open

    Having issues with higher temps...

    Do you guys think charcoal basket design plays a role at all? The one I'm currently using is short and wide. I also have a tall and skinny one that seems to burn nicely but creates a huge hot spot in the center

    Having issues with higher temps...

    The valves are 3/4 but not full port, so more like half... I ordered 3 full ports to replace. I'll try drilling the exhausts out as well

    Having issues with higher temps...

    I've been having issues controlling my temperatures lately, its getting a little colder outside with the fall weather. My current set up's have 8 1/2" exhaust holes in the lids and 3 3/4" ball valve intakes (They are reduced port so more like 1/2"), two of the intakes have 90's and a 24" pipe...

    Red lined barrels

    It's not easy but it can be done. I wouldn't bother with a burn, just throw on a half mask and take a couple of grinding disc's to it. Then make a commet paste and cover everything and use the grinder again. I had 3 barrels all with the orange coating and it took an afternoon to get them all...

    Tri-Tip?

    I've got brisket's from him before and he cut it right off the cow, he let me come watch. I assume the tip came right off the cow too but it doesn't look like anything I've seen online
