    My first UDS

    I had the same problem you did trying to burn out a barrel liner. After my 2nd burn I broke out my grinder with a wire brush attachment. This is something I do not recommend. Not only do you have to put up with little slivers of wire coming off the wire brush attachment at high speed, but when I...

    UDS Plans

    I think it's funny that that article states to not use any drums other than food grade & the ones they use for pictures in the article are lube barrels.

    First UDS Build

    For the time being, I plan on just using the flat lid. Like you, I'm wanting to get the most room I can since I would like to make sure I have enough room for a turkey. Im wondering, if you put your's 8" down, how tall is your barrel? Mine is 36" tall and I was thinking of possibly stretching...

    First UDS Build

    From what Ive read on different sites, ppl are putting their grate at different levels, mainly it seems most are anywhere from 6" to 9" from the top but most are saying that an average barrel is 34" tall. Mine is 36. I have also seen that some ppl recommend a distance of 24" between the cooking...

    First UDS Build

    With the lid open: Height: 48.5 inches - this thing is 4 1/2' tall without the dome lid? Width R-L: 23 inches - this is fairly straight forward, (dia.) Depth: 24 inches - pretty much a gray area to me. So am I to assume without the dome lid the WSM is 4 1/2' to the top grate & then 24" down...

    First UDS Build

    I know this question has been beaten in the ground but I keep finding conflicting information. My barrel is 36" tall. How far down do I drill the holes to install the grate? I'm planning on drilling the air supply holes 2" from the bottom. It seems like every place Ive checked is in agreement on...

    Question about burning a barrel out

    I had a 55gal steel barrel that I was burning out for my UDS build. This food grade barrel had a brown painted inside which I am assuming was the dreaded liner. I picked up a mixture of hardwood from a pile of broken pallets & started my fire. After about 4-5 hours of burning I looked inside &...
