Well for months maybe even a year I have been craving a smoker and truly had my heart set on a WSM, but began looking and admiring some of the UglyDrums that people on here as well as You Tube have done so I thought I would give one a try and see how it turned out. I started with a drum that...
Welcome to SMF!
Glad to have you aboard.
I think you meant to type UDS. It stands for "ugly drumsmoker".
Here is a link to that section.

Hi My name is Bill Sutton. I am new to the forum...and new at using a uglydrumsmoker. I want to thank everyone for letting me join your forum. I really want to learn to cook pork.
I am a Pedal Steel Guitar picker... And I love to play music. I also love BBQ. I built a uds
to cook...
...from Richland Wa. I love barbecuing and smoking meat. I like to challenge myself and cook different recipes I find. I use a pellet smoker right now (PitBoss). But I'm in the process of making a UDS (Uglydrumsmoker). I look forward to chatting it up about smoking meats and different techniques.
Looking at the DIY website link, he mentions burning off the original paint from the drum. If you buy a new food grade steel drum with no liner, is this necessary?
UDS - uglydrumsmoker.
I think for that amount of effort, I'll just stick with the plan of modding the side smoker. At least it will still look fairly decent.
...3 years old the electric display and control went bad, and can't get a replacement part, I was just given a brinkmann barrel smoker by a friend I need to do some refurbishment to it and some modifications after reading some threads here, I'm also in the process of building an uglydrumsmoker...
About a month ago, I built an UglyDrumSmoker. Great experience and I have been able to produce some amazing BBQ. One of the challenges of a UDS is that it's hard to add any extra smoke once you have started cooking. I should mention that I use a diffuser plate, which essentially blocks any...
OK.... Now, could a stand alone unit be built for an UglyDrumSmoker... maybe... I suppose it would have to be GURU driven due to the lack of a chimney effect....
I'm guessing there is a minimum size for the charcoal vertical tube.... maybe 6" square... for Kingsford Blue...
Is...
I need some help please.
I am building a UDS 16 gallon and need some info. what size should the expanded metal be before rolling into shape, width and length please. I also need to know what size to cut the intake holes and how many do I need to cut. The magnets that many have used are 1/2" at...
...beer so I know all about being patient to get the results I want. 14 hours fir a pork shoulder....... totally worth it. I've got an uglydrumsmoker I assembled and painted and that's it at the moment. I'd like to learn more about cold smoking too. I checked ou jeff philips book from the...
I wouldn't think you would need to then. However, from what I understand all barrels come with a rust inhibitor on the inside even if they state they don't have a liner. I would recommend asking about that first and also let the seller know what you are using it for. I burned the exterior paint...
Also making your own would be significantly cheaper than buying one. Below is a link that I referenced when I was building mine. I made some modifications and added a table on the side of mine plus I used an old Weber grill lid as my lid instead of using the one that came with my barrel. I...
...love with my husband. We have 2 beautiful little girls. Our girls and home are our sanctuary. We smoke every weekend on our UDS (uglydrumsmoker). I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a we have found it a challenging time trying to re-recipe all our favorites. We have both...
...to VARYING degrees of success!! :-)
I get many compliments on my results, but now I'm obsessed with perfection. I want to build an uglydrumsmoker, a vertical barrel smoker with a separate wood/charcoal department, a smoke house out of wood/concrete, a pig roaster with cinder block pits, a...
...sheet steel covers and used green pecan. I've used many different HOG (horizontal offset grills) and used dry Oak. I've used UDS (UglyDrumSmokers) and charcoal. and I've used WKG (weber Kettle Grills). I've used every coating imaginable, from dry rub alone, to oiled dry rubs, to mustard...
