Ok y'all wanted to see it when it's done. Well here she is. Seasoned all night long at about 400 for almost 12 hours. I already have my first good to go on it ready to go. Started off easy and went with a fattie. I'll let you know how it turns out.
I really appreciate the info guys. I have the stuff to make the basket and intend on starting tomorrow. That should wrap up the smoker project and I intend to fill the basket, wipe the inside of the barrel with some veggie oil, open all three valves, and burn it until its out. Then my first cool...
Being new to the whole smoker building group, I've had some questions. Well a new question has sprung up because I'm rounding the home stretch on my build. What size charcoal baskets are all you UDS guys using in yours? Here is what I'm planning on making and you tell me if it sounds good.

Ok so I already posted the before picture of the drum. Here is where I'm currently at in the build. Not much left to do. Just need to get a few thing to finish it up.
Hey all. I've been hard at work both reading a ton of stuff on here trying to learn about smoking meats and stuff, as well as building myself a UDS. I got lucky and had one of the warehouse guys at work give me a BRAND NEW/NEVER USED 55 gallon drum. It has a removable lid but no bungholes. After...
Just wanted to say hey to everyone and introduce myself. My names Mike and I live in NJ. Avid hunter, fisherman, and love to grill. Just recently build my smoker so that I can finally go the "low and slow" route. I'll be checking out all that is offered on this site and hope to enjoy many...
