I just use a higher charcoal basket and drop a waiter tray on top of it. Since it´s expanded metal, the heat can go out by the basket sides. No holes, just wrapped in foil to easy cleaning. My charcoal basket is: 40cm high x 30cm diameter. The coal grate is placed 5 cm from bottom so I have...

...(or cold smoking) bacon, smoking ribs and pork loins.... they are very versatile. And what started off with a nickname like 'ugly drum smoker', they have evolved into some high end options. And BTW, the competition team or club can do an entire contest on drums, they are very popular on...

Thankyou, great shout I had seen some of them which actually prompted me to post this as I had given up hope on the pipe and knew that I could lay my hands on some oil drums. At the minute it's as much about the build as anything.. I love my job and bring it home as a hobby so I'll definitely...

...the years but I would like to start sharing them here so I can get some advice on what I can do better each time. I have always used Ugly Drum Smokers to cook with hardwood lump charcoal. I have built 5 of these now for myself, family and friends. I just love how versatile they are, I can use...

Hey Guys I am new here, but am planning a UDS build and have raked the internet with no real answer to this question. Where is the best placement for a UDS exhaust? I have read that the top is best as it induces the most airflow over the meat, the top side is best because it allows some smoke...

...close enough to the power to use it if and when needed. I started out with an elevated smokehouse fed from something like a modified ugly drum smoker and had problems getting temps where I wanted them and maintaining it. My current smokehouse is set up for propane buy even that has not worked...

...(why they are so easy to find used). You could also look into Weber Smokey Mountains (a bullet smoker), or building a drum (UDS, "ugly drum smoker"). If you know you like that electric one, you might just want to get a similar one to that. All that said, I am with everyone else in voting for...

Yeah i have a lot of options here now. Did the propane on my walkin and then went to a pellet hopper, that held temps pretty good up in PA. Checked the power going to the plug and figures no power, 20a breaker is in the box and flipped on so dont know if there is another power on/off switch...

...As big as your budget is, I'd think it within the realm of possibility. If it is, or even if not, you could also get/build an "Ugly Drum Smoker" (UDS), or a water smoker like this one in the EU (i have NO idea about the brand, just Googled "water smoker .eu" for smaller cooks. You might even...

...the bottom, you have something like a drum smoker. The air inlets into the bottom but drawing in air from the top looks like many "ugly drum smokers" (ugly is used as a complement). If your opening at the bottom is a simple adjustable hole, you have something much like a Weber kettle. If...

This is a new smoker I built from an oak wine barrel formerly used for Cabernet. It uses charcoal and has a 1” ball valve for air intake. Has a 22” Weber kettle grill. Local pickup near Tucson AZ only

After much research and debate last year I selected and purchased a Weber Genesis II 4 burner to replace my old gasser. I made the right choice and am very happy with it, especially after adding Grill Grates and a pellet maze. Now it's time to replace my old (electric) smoker. For some reason I...

Thanks I was worried that the draw might be difficult to get started with the firebox on the side as the smoke will need to flow down after leaving the fire chamber. I know the vertical reverse flow the smoke does travel down after first going up. So my design should work in theory.

I think you'll be needing some cookbooks, Joy of Cooking for the basics, and Steve Reichlin or the Weber cookbooks for grilling. Your collection will grow over time, trust me on that. You may want to ease into barbecue/smoking, it can get very expensive. A $400 pellet grill will be a piece of...

...build a drum smoker this summer any way.. So I guess my winter project is going to be building the worlds first Old Smokey Electric Ugly Drum Smoker. Or at least I think it will be, I know someone here put the element from an old redi smok into a 30 gal drum but as far as I could tell it was...

The slot trick is a really great addition. I have done it to my Ugly Drum Smoker and my Kettles. Easy Peasy if you have an angle grinder. If not, with a little bit of elbow grease a round file will work. John

...chicken with Kosmos Hot dirty bird rub. This is a great rub for poultry, we like it on our wings!! This cooker is essentially an ugly drum smoker. I loaded the basket with KingsFord competition briqettes, mixed in a some cherry wood chucks and left a place to put in the lit coals. I lit...

Welcome from Iowa! Wish ya the best of luck on your smoker build. Maybe a uds (ugly drum smoker) would work for you, if you can locate a barrel Ryan

If your handy and dont mind trying to build one look into building a UDS (ugly drum smoker) I built mine 6 years ago and its still going strong. Holds great temps and I use it all winter long. 3-5 times a week. When you build one you can go as basic or as extreme as you want.

If you want to make a smoker start out with an ugly drum build. Very easy and not many tools required. Start to finish it will take you around 20 hours
