Here is some recent work. I have the top fitted.  I am debating on whether I should braze the top or weld it. Time to cut in the vent holes. More photos to follow of my progress.

I have built several smokers of different types over the years and have learned from each one.  I now have scrapped enough material together to make what I believe will be the ultimate UDS.  As with everything, there is always room for improvement.  Here is my progress so far.  Any input or...

I got to work on it this weekend.  It is getting close.  I just need to cut the top out, build the coal tray, get a dome lid for the smoker, and paint it.  I am thinking about "Cherry Red" with a Gloss Black top.  Any suggestions?

I am building and insulated UDS.  I continued to smoke through the winter, but here in Ohio, it got down to -15*.  That kind of weather is hard on everything.  but when it did come up to 0* I was out there getting my smoke on.  Wind has always been a factor on all of my smokers.  I have had...

Thank you for the feedback.  I plan on making one for Boston Butts in the near future.  I will have better quality camera work and lighting.  I'll keep you posted.

Your orifice and air hole combination might easily be fixed by adding a needle valve to your regulator.  This will allow your to tweak the air gas mixture even more.  I used this on a hog cooker I built.  I will send pictures if you need me to.

It is looking good!

Thank you for all of the compliments!

It was a great day to kick off the BBQ season.  We were celebrating a young couples' recent engagement.  What better way than to do it with BBQ.  Here are few pics of the day. 4 Boston butts from Sam's Club.  These are probably the best ones I ever got there. Today's schedule. 6 slabs of...

I'm also excited to see where you go with this one.  As for your fire box lay-out, I have two ideas for you. 1.  Cut the dome completely off and weld a 30" + wide piece of plate steel that extends both above and below the tank.  This will facilitate having a warming oven above the firebox.  Of...

Thank for the pics.  It looks good!!!

Did you finish?  We would like to see how it turned out.
