Welcome. Look like a well made drum but I have no experience. There is a UDS build sub forum and also this:

Lot of folks here have a UDS so you'll learn quickly by reading thru some threads.
...vents. I’m hoping with the amount of adjustable vents I will be able to tweak them enough to make it work. If not, I also have an uglydrumsmoker a Kamado, and a griddle all going in there. Ok ok, and a pellet grill lol- all against the back metal wall when in use. My idea is that if the...
Check out kick ash products. I use the coal basket and ash pan. Very easy. Just shake the basket after use and brush any ash down into the pan. Lift the pan out. Dispose of ash. Replace pan and basket. Load and go. Takes less than a minute. Every thing and one stays clean. Sweet!
Hi All, have spent time here but didn't register years ago. I started with a Masterbuilt electric, gave it away when my buddy made me an UglyDrum. Decided today that the uglydrum isn't really working for me. It's terrible in the cold and the overall mess and difficulty is just pretty high...
Hey all,
I rarely post, but my old UDS rusted out and has been outta commission awhile. Picked up a new drum today and want to see what everyone thinks. Is this a good drum for a build? I don't think it is lined but it's hard to tell really. Surely someone's used something similar and will know...
I used to watch this couple's youtube channel a few years ago. Seems youtube has been good to them. Back then they lived in a hobbit house but seems they have upgraded or I missed something over the years of not watching them.
Any ways I watched this video and really liked the idea of the...
I’ve been building a whiskey barrel smoker and I just can’t find the right exhaust set up. I’ve stained and stenciled the top so it’s gonna have to be a side discharge. I actually bought one off Amazon that was for a Pit Boss pellet smoker but this thing is huge! I’m going to mount two Ugly...
Welcome from West ‘by-God’ Virginia!
Some of the local competition guys run an UglyDrumsmoker and I myself have one along with my other grills and smokers. Each has a place and purpose. Stick with us and we can learn from you and you from us!
PS…Lumber Jack wood pellets are best! Lol
Can I use a device like an Amazn smoke tube alone for a couple of hours and then put the jerky in the dehydrator to get it to 150 for a couple of hours?
I can't manage really low temps in my UglyDrumSmoker.
That's a UDS or uglydrumsmoker. Search around here for posts and see what you think. These take some skill to use well. Everything goes in...fire, smoke source, food...and gets sealed up. You somewhat control temp by air flow control but everything else is ballistic. A bullet smoker like...
I've smoked with charcoal before. Never used a UDS Luke this. Once it's set, does it hold steady?
Guessing I'd fill up the basket and use minion method or just use a starter cube and get it to temp. I just don't want to be busy fussing with Temps when I'm doing other things.

...on your pizza pans? I was looking at the fancy ones on udsparts.com, it's tempting, but the shipping makes it a bit $pendy for an uglydrumsmoker. I'm just looking to see what others have done for a heat diffuser in their drums. Thank you in advance for any guidance that you can provide...
I just bought a PBJ about 2 months ago and I really like it. I've started using it with a TempSpike and left the BBQ Guru in the box, at least for now. The results have been great: succulent and juicy baby back ribs, juicy roast whole chicken and wonderful smoked turkey thighs.
