    First build with no knowledge whatsoever.

    I decided to go with a 1.66 vertical uds. The design was ripped off by another poster on SMF. It has a few smokes under its belt, but it is yet to produce something that wows me and/or the wife. I am not sure if the quality of meat I used was up to par. The chicken was the best thing that came...

    I wonder if I funnelled the two drums to make an hour glass type shape if the temperatures would be more even. I don't know. Any ideas? On another note, I guess this thread is no longer a reverse flow offset build, I don't know if it should be moved or what, do what you will administrators, I...

    So, I got my barrels, did a burn and for the last4 hours have been trying to get the double uds up to temperature. I've done zero welding at this point. I want to see if it can be done first. I simply used the lid ring to attach two drums top to top. Drilled identical 3/4" 3x on the bottom of...

    Oh for sure. I just failed to mention the doors. I definitely want doors with access to all levels of this thing.

    Right on Dave, you're the man. So, with using a drum lid is there always a problem with condensation? Should one invest immediately on a weber kettle dome? Or is the dome more about creating space inside the cooker? Or both? Btw how is the food out of a drum smoker if done correctly?

    I really have no idea, I've never done this before. I guess I was thinking of going with three 1" ball valves plus maybe a 3" pipe and damper for air inlets. From there I'd go with a 14"x 24"h fuel basket. Heat it with lump charcoal, although if wood is possible I'd go strictly wood, or mix...

    Well Dave, your reputation precedes you in the build department and the fact that you aren't against it makes me think that it is feasible, at the very least. So that makes me excited about the build.

    Double vertical uds

    Hi y'all, has anyone here ever constructed a vertical double uds before, and if so how was it for heat control and fuel consumption? If not maybe some of you have enough knowledge about thermodynamics that you could tell me why my idea is good or bad. Thanks everyone for having read this.

    The reason is because I want to do it without insulating it and I have a spot in my yard that is enclosed and fireproof but not large enough for a double barrel smoker like you showed me, and I want something bigger than a single uds.
