    UDS Version 2.0

    Yep, I have already washed the inside and the outside. I made sure to properly dispose of the contaminants. I am getting started on it tomorrow evening so there will be pictures after that.

    UDS Version 2.0

    I got a little work done today. Paint stage 1, 2 coats of high temp engine header paint good to 2000* supposedly. Paint stage 2, 2 coats of high temp black brake caliper paint with ceramic. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am going to stencil something on it but not sure...

    UDS Water Pan Question

    Oh, and thank you. My butts always come out really good and are well received by the hungry masses.

    UDS Water Pan Question

    Yeah, so I have used a drip tray before but to be honest it is really somewhat pointless. I have a strict no peeking policy while smoking. If you're looking...you ain't cooking. With that being said, any drippings that I do get are usually crisped up in the tray by the time I open it up to check...

    Drum burnout..

    You will still want to give the inside of the barrel a good sanding after the burn out. Wait until just before you plan to do your seasoning smoke so surface rust doesn't come back. I used some plain ole 150 grit and gave it a very through sanding. Then I vacuumed out the majority of the dust...

    Drum burnout..

    Try to go to your local kmart, walmart, lowes, home depot etc. Drive behind them and there are usually stacks of pallets to be thrown out. I usually just load the back of my truck up and call it a day. Pallets are typically made of untreated clean wood.

    UDS Water Pan Question

    You can see my drip tray/head diffuser in this picture. It catches enough of the drippings to keep the fire at bay while providing consistent temps across the whole cooking surface. I learned this after my first few smokes and it has made all the difference. After each smoke I take it out and...

    UDS Water Pan Question

    I put a perforated pizza pan on my second rack as a heat diffuser. I have never needed or used a water pan in there.

    UDS Version 2.0

    So, small update. I took the drum out to my Dad's house this weekend with the intent to cut off the lip at the top and put oven gasket around the top to seal it up better against the lid. I was not happy with the smoke leaking out around a couple spots on the edges. While it wasn't enough to...

    Nope, that is as hot as I will ever need. I do sometimes cook meatloaf and such on there so it is nice to have the ability. It will also be good for chickens and stuff after it has had a chance to smoke for a bit.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
