    Rookie Irish woman building UDS

    I'm new to the UDS myself but have been smoking with other smokers for a few years. My most recent smoker was a gasser. I still have it & probably will use it again when I tire of the UDS. If fall off the bone meat is your goal I'd recommend smoking the meat for 4 or 5 hours. Take them off put...

    Rookie Irish woman building UDS

    Yes ma'am you'l' have to burn it & season it. I'm a bit new at this built my first one a few weeks ago. I'm not familiar with the kinds of stores in Ireland so I'm at a loss to suggest somewhwere. Here in the US everyone goes to Walmart. Good Luck

    What Kind of drum?

    I'd imagine since they had oil in them, there would be no liner (that's a good thing) but they need to be burned & seasoned to kill any bad stuff in them & keep them from rusting,

    Lined Barrels

The web page is at the bottom.JT says: July 12, 2013 at 11:17 am I bought a drum from you recently with the epoxy phenolic liner that I intend to convert to a smoker. I...

    multi colored high temp paint

    I saw it on google image search. I've got a buddy that's a Star Wars Freak. He loves to bbq over charcoal. I thought this would be a great way to introduce him to UDS cooking. I'll get his family to chip in a little & give it to him for his birthday. Question is where do I get the multi colored...

    How much Charcoal

    OK I've got my UDS done aside of adding the bottle opener. I tried to season it using a heating element from a Brinks electric smoker my folks bought me aq number of years ago. It only got to 170 degrees & didn't get hot enough to bake the cooking oil on. I finished my fire basket this morning...

    1st UDS build

    OK I picked up a 55 gallon drum I added the adjustable shelf system... I've burned it three times the red stuff is coming off in some places but not all... The Weber lid doesn't quite fit... I called around a few places to see if I could get it sandblasted (the red sealer), nobody does...

    Stainless steel UDS

    I like , practically everyone on this site. Have been kicking around building a UDS. With the variance of a stainless steel drum. I've done a bit of shopping looks like a used one will cost me about $200. I live in SE SC & the humidity does a job on anything metal. I figured stainless would last...

    Minimalist rub

    I started the cook on the smoker, after I wrapped them up I put them in the oven @ 250. I can't see burning propane if I'm not making smoke. Then I put them back on the smoker. Sometimes I even put them in an oven bag instead of foil. Sorry for the lack of picks, really been stupid here lately &...

    Leatherneck Roll Call.... All Branches Welcome!

    I work on MCAS Beaufort now & have to listen to the wing wipers whine about going to CAX (2 weeks @ camp Wilson) we spent on average 5-6 months a year in the field. Our CO volunteered us for everything.

    Minimalist rub

    Sometimes Less truly is more.................. A week ago I had a slab of baby-backs kind of an impulse buy.........they were on sale. Anyway I thought I'd try something different & since they were on sale if they weren't great less was to be lost. I didn't really want to go through the...

    More smoke!

    Okay before I get into my question, here's what I'm working with. I built a side smoker using the mailbox mod with an AMNS . I attached a fan from an old computer to help transfer the smoke from the mailbox to the smoker (a master built propane 2 door model) Had some issues with keeping the AMNS...
