Little update. Added another intake and exhaust. Bought a stainless vortex accessory off of amazon. I placed the vortex in a wok with room for the ash to fall. This UDS is very versatile now. Very pleased.
Lao style beef cheek lettuce wraps.
Super tender cheeks. Smoked for bout 2hrs with mesquite. 2-3hrs wrapped in banana leafs till 203.
Finished with tons of fresh vegetables jasmine rice and wife’s homemade Thai chili sauce.
Here ya go man. Something along the lines of this.
I bought the Heavy Duty ones that Home Depot sells. Which are way heavier. I had to grind away material where the blushes are inside of the barrel and welded them. Used a square from the top to keep them equal.

Got temps up to 340 today no issues. Dabbed up a block off plate quick like to use a snake burn. Got 9hrs at 250 with this setup. Still a lot of coal left. Digging this thing. Darker ribs on the left are a bulgogi style mop unwrapped. The mahogany ones on the right were comp style wrap just...
Lid off temps fall. Not drastically. 10 to 15 degrees but instantly level back off to previously adjusted temperature with lid reinstalled. Haven't had a fire choke out in 3 burns. Just needs more air in and out to reach higher temps. I'd honestly say I'd rather have it this way instead of...
No I'm good. Thick skin, retired military.
Like I stated above man I went a different route with the basket and it will work extreamly well for BBQ. I got a torch and a welder so it's just a little hacking and slashing to make it versitle. I update to share experience. I like to do stuff...
No obnoxious smoke just heat waves mostly after 20-25 minutes is really why I am not concerned. This thing will BBQ well but will need some tinkering for grilling/searing.
Ya wide open. It really doesn't concern me because I don't cook anything over 275. Heat diffuser on or off doesn't change temp just hot spots where the charcoal is burning. Works real well in a snake type minion method. Temps do not spike at all. Settles in at 20-25 minutes in this weather and...
This thing acts like a stick burner. Temp is 255 lower 270 upper wide open.
Barely cracked 238 lower 255 upper.
Rock solid for past 2 hours. Smoking some hot links.
Boneless pork butt I got from the Asian store. Turned out really well. Cooked at 225 unwrapped then broiled it for 5 minutes to get skin super crunchy. Things was demolished by all.
Simple pork rub with Malcom Reeds mop recipe using same rub. Really happy with the outcome.
Yeah man it’s hard to justify but I could show you. It screws flat or open like picture. Think like old school wood stove. Same I built on my stik burner.
