BPS UDS Build with Photos and Lessons Learned
Sorry for the delay, didn't realize I had a question! I got it from C-Mar products in Detroit. Literally almost right next to the Bridge on the river. You can get down there quickly on the freeway, and your not far from the old Train station. Make sure they know you DON'T want a tight head...- johna

BPS UDS Build with Photos and Lessons Learned
Sorry for the silence. We had a very mild winter so far here in Michigan right up to the day I burned out the barrel. It got quite a bit colder after that. I will try to season the interior this weekend without the hardware on it. But exterior painting is going to have to wait for a mid...- johna

Just bought the high temp paint today, but need to figure out how to get it and the environment warm enough to paint. It's too cold outside right now.- johna

BPS UDS Build with Photos and Lessons Learned
Once I drilled all the holes in the barrel, I was dying to light a fire. I had grabbed a couple of free pallets outside the hardware store and lit them off a couple sections at a time. Another lesson learned: start your burnout early in the day, it will take hours for the coals to die down...- johna

BPS UDS Build with Photos and Lessons Learned
Here's some pictures of the build in progress. One thing that came in really handy was to knock a dimple where the holes are supposed to go, AND then use a 3/32 or 1/8 drill bit to drill a starter hole from the dimple. I felt that even with a dimple the stepped bit started inaccurately...- johna

BPS UDS Build with Photos and Lessons Learned
I've been smoking meat for about 6 years now. I started with a little electric water smoker that I picked up off of Craigslist. Smoked a lot in it and wanted to move up so I got an electric cabinet smoker. It's starting to rust out (from the inside) and I really started to want to move away...- johna

Hi from a new smoker
Hello. I just started smoking this fall. I bought a used Brinkmann (ecb) Electric Gourmet for $10 on Craigslist. I dove in and did a fatty to check the temp . Next up I did a whole chicken: Then I smoked some brats and I followed those up with a butt: After some more chicken and some... -
