    UDS on steroids

    I am contemplating making a UDS out of a 120 gallon propane tank if I can find one affordable enough. Can anyone tell me how much one of those weighs empty? I still want to be able to lift it in the back of a truck to take places like I currently do for tailgating parties ect. I know it will...

    Rust in UDS?

    I have experimented many ways with mine. Mine uses a firebox made out of old hog panel folded into a box shape. It encompasses 90% of my bottom area of my 55 gallon drum. So the box catches the majority of the dripping which then burn off before they get onto the floor of my drum. After I am...

    UDS extra intake holes???

    I drilled another 1" intake hole while it was smoking. With 4 open intakes and both exhausts open I was able to get the temps up around 385 or so. I closed the small exhaust hole and capped both intakes. I now have valve full open and my drilled hole (I will get a close nipple and cap this...

    UDS extra intake holes???

    Update. It was hovering around 311-312 degrees and as an experiment I removed the 3/4" bung hole cap from the lid to see what extra exhaust might do. After a couple minutes it started rapidly climbing till it got in the 330s then it slowed down. It is currently at 344 and hovering around that...

At 3 15 I dumped my chimney into my basket and put on my rack, my bird, and the lid. I have been monitoring the temp below the...

    Wanting good chicken smoker recipe

    What is the cure #1 for? I am getting overwhelmed......I understand to brine. Pops thread states whole chickens can be brined for 2-3 days but the other thread says no longer than 10 hours or the meat will be mushy. That seems to be conflicting viewpoints and I do not know which one to follow...

    Wanting good chicken smoker recipe

    I am planning on using my UDS for the first time this weekend. I got me 2 of those chicken/beer can holders from wal mart. I figured I would start with something simple like a chicken for my first time since I am still learning the temp control ect. I was wanting to try a new KC style dry rub...

    Pics of my UDS

    This is my UDS I just finished. Notice the patch I put on the drum. It had a crack so I just welded a patch over it. Those 2 stainless bolts by the patch are utensil holders. I got 2 grates installed. One is at the recomended height of 24" from the bottom of the basket. The second grate holders...
