I thought UDS meant "Ugly Drum Smoker". I haven't seen an Ugly one yet !!! Bear

Hello my name is Jace. I am a heavy equipment operator. I use an Ugly Drum Smoker. I made the UDS last week end and am using it today for the first time.

...Barrel Cooker (PBC) or a Weber Smokey Mountain (WSM) So I start with a general question, is there a difference between a homemade Ugly Drum Smoker (UDS) and the (PBC)  Either way I doubt I would build a UDS, because I know me.  I will go buy a drum and 6 months late I will still have a ...

Thanks, Eric.  I've run across the WSM smokers from time to time, but never really gave them serious thought.  Of course, I've only been looking at switching to charcoal for a short time.  The reviews on these things are extremely high, with very few negatives.  I'm not dead set on hanging meat...

...and smoke properly. For a first time smoker you can't go wrong with the WSM. One more smoker I would like to recommend is the UDS Ugly Drum Smoker. They are good entry level smokers. Even the pros use WSM and UDS. After I built and used the UDS it works flawlessly. Just make sure the lid of...

The design above will definitely work. The best part of a UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker) is you can build it to fit your needs. There are a lot of build threads on the UDS board here that will give you plenty of ideas. 

Honestly, if you are looking at minimal supervision, a stick burner is not the way to go.  You'd be better off building or buying an Ugly Drum Smoker (UDS) or 2.  Your other option for minimal supervision would be any number of cabinet style smokers from several different manufacturers...

you can check out the forums at smokerbuilder.com too for ideas.  It seems like a really popular, cheap alternative is an "ugly drum smoker".  With some scrounging you could probably build one of those pretty simply/cheaply and have two 22" round grates to smoke on.  Or find a cheap/free side...

...a Barrel, and build on of these, http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/191531/my-first-uds-build-in-england#post_1372456 It's a UDS, Ugly Drum Smoker, once built it will have all the air control you will need to regulate the pit temperature accurately. Other wise you are going to have to in...

...using a pellet smoker and thought I'd give it a try. I bought a Traeger and use it mainly for home cooking. I will stick with the ugly drum smoker for competitive cooking. Cooking with a smoker is very satisfying and compliments beer drinking during the summer. Favorite yet least experienced...

Hello all,               My name is Matt, I'm 48, Dad to two phenomenal Daughters, and I live/survive in California (trust me, I'm not bragging on the Cali thing). I am self employed as a countertop contractor, so that means I have a lot of free time on my hands.. I also work on boats, hot rods...

...to do is ask and keep reading. As for a cooker, you have gotten some real good advice. There are plans on the site for building an ugly drum smoker (UDS). They are inexpensive to build and can turn out some excellent meat. The hard truth is, it ain't the cooker, it's the cook. Get Jeff's...

I recently bought a UFO cold smoke generator. They are extremely easy and reliable to use. The only drawback is you need electricity to run the air pump but so what? - this is for home use. It worked so well in the little rubbish bin that I decided I'd make something bigger, and add heat to it...

...the wife bought me Jeff's book it really started to blossom - going from acceptable BBQ to Epic! Made mods to the ECB and built an Ugly Drum Smoker with the assistance of the local Mead Maker here in Medina. Now I smoke just to give it away at work (Pride is bad) and get feedback. Maybe some...

Hi, My name is Andrea. That UDS looks pretty impressive and not that complicated. I was thinking of printing off that entire thread and giving it to my dad along with his gift. Hopefully ,i  can buy him the barrel and he can build it  himself. Thanks for the great idea.

...from New York and I'm looking for a place to learn. Dont have a smoker yet but in the process of gathering materials to build an Ugly Drum Smoker. Hopefully I'll have everything I need in a week or so. In the meantime I'm gonna be lurking all over this forum in my quest for smoky wisdom. Take...

I have just recently built a UDS or ugly drum smoker. I have been giving it some season smokes to get a feel for controlling temp on it. It holds a steady 240 - 250 for a long time. I'm thinking about smoking a whole chicken for the first actual go. I need some tip though as I am not as...

So, what do you do if you want to enter a local BBQ contest and they don't allow electric smokers and that is all you have? You build a Mini! And what do you do when you can't find a steamer pot, but you have an old ugly drum electric smoker that it "almost" the right size? I'll tell you what...

i made a Ugly Drum Smoker (UDS) here in Dumaguete..Cooks baby back ribs and taste great. Taste Great. Better the so called "Texax Style BBQ" meat here in Dumaguete. I normally cook about 3-4kilos at a time with the UDS.
