    New year - New UDS (Australian build)

    Yeah there is 4 inches of clearance on the bottom, I'm probably just not leaving it long enough to heat up. I haven't done any really long cooks on it yet.Going to do a pulled pork next week so I'll really test it out then.

    So yet another I'm building a UDS (what do you expect in this sub?)

    Nice work! I've seen countless builds about how painful that red liner can be. Good to know there is actually a fairly easy way to get rid of the liner, I'll have to keep that in mind for my next build

    UPGRADES!!! Home from work for a week, had to upgrade my UDS, I'd been obsessing about it for the two weeks i was away at work! I sent half a day going round to a few scrap yards trying to find some perforated sheet or mesh, I though a sheet of scrap steel from a laser cutter, would be perfect...

And am thoroughly hooked on cooking with it. Already thinking up ideas for additions to it. Feel free to have a look...

    I don't see how you can "draw a line in the sand" regarding the morality making your own compared to buying something. Especially when their is such a strong DIY culture around BBQ and smoking, I've spent hours and hours of my time trawling through hundreds of builds, all from avid DIYers who...

    Yeah, Brisbane is a bit tropical for a lot of stone fruits, but I did plant a tropical peach tree, a grape vine and an olive tree about 3 months ago... Might be waiting a while before i get some decent cuttings from them  I'm planning on making a maze pellet smoke generator, as I have found an...

    Thanks for all the positive feedback,it's motivating me to get the rest of the things done and start cooking some serious bbq. As a fellow aussie, Moikel, what woods do you use when you are smoking? And where are you getting them from? I've got plenty of bottlebrush wood at my place and I've...
