    Cinsidering a UDS build: Lined Vs Unlined

I see alot of folks are getting a food grade barrel that has a liner, which is then burned out. Alternatively, folks getting an unlined barrel seem...

    Earth Smoker Part 3

    Well, I could not give up after I invested so much time in my little project, I decided to try again. The problem with the design was that it simply shed too much heat. I noticed that inside the firebox it was blazing hot, and that the roof of the firebox was warm, yet the cooking chamber would...

    Well, I'm still a spry 31, so the back issue is not a problem for now...as for the grass...I'm renting a home in the boonies of the central Oregon high desert...and here, there is no lawn...I might try to grow one in the spring, but we will see.

    Acronym's

    I hate to be the new guy making requests...but the acronyms here are insane. As a newbie trying to figure out what people are talking about, it is only complicated by threads that include acronyms in nearly every post. For quite some time I thought "OTBS" stood for "off topic bull sh*t," and SMF...

Then I rubbed it down with mustard, basil, pepper and a few secret ingredients. I started by putting a good bit of charcoal in the right hand hole. I gave the...
