    Does this sound about right to you?

    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...

    Does this sound about right to you?

    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. 3/4"...

    Where does everyone get there wood??

    Well I called around to a bunch of tree companies and they all said they don't give away any wood. What the heck?? They all wanted to charge me by the log. I really hate all the douche bags in this state.

    Where does everyone get there wood??

    Nah because I look at it this way. I love hunting so much that if I go out while I'm doing it, I go out happy.

    Where does everyone get there wood??

    I'm curious as to where everyone gets their woods for their smokers. Do you buy it online in bulk? On craigslist? A specific store? The Home Depot by me only sells bags of the shavings and for my new UDS i need to have chunks correct? Thanks for your help.

    I forgot to ask last night. What should I do for an exhaust on the lid? I've seen all kinds of different things. Some people have a 2" black nipple smokestack, some have just a 2" hole, some have a bunch of 1" holes. That's about the only thing I haven't thought of yet. Can someone direct me on...

    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...
