I can easily reach temps of 300 with two 1" holes open so four 1/2" holes should be enough.. curious what your basket looks like.

Thanks Jay!
Have you found it's easier to maintain temps of 225-250 with the 1.25" hole capped?
So far, I have run both the exhausts wide open. Works well but I feel like it would rather be around 275 with exhausts wide open.

I have a chuck roast so that's perfect, thanks Al!
Dirtsailor, I have yet to do burnt ends. Time to look up a recipe!

If you have had meat croquettes, you know it's literally one of the best ways to prepare meat. Deep fried little balls of shredded meat! Yum..
After just completing a tasty pulled pork, I was thinking about smoking a beef roast with the intention of pulling it for croquettes.
Is this doable...
Smoked some pulled pork in the UDS.
Followed Bears step by step and it came out perfect!
Also I'm loving the new UDS. This was the first real smoke and the end result was fantastic!

Thanks for looking!

Finished the UDS and I'm pretty excited to give it a go! I will season it this weekend.
4 x 1" bottom vents. 2 to be capped and 2 with 1" ball valves. Going to leave the lid as is, as I still would like to find a Weber lid to fit.
Got the brother in law to weld up a basket for me.
Still have...
My barrel liner burned right out. Just drill your bottom holes before lighting the fire for air flow. Give it a few hours with a hot fire. You will probably still need to hit it with a wire wheel or something but it goes pretty quick. Going to finish my UDS tonight: build the basket and install...
Thanks for the replies. Pizza pan is a good idea. I might have to implement that.
I think I will stick with ball valves as it is easy to see how open they are. Plus I work at a hydraulic shop and have easy access to valves :)

Hi all!
A few months ago I decided I wanted to get a better smoker which would be more versatile than my Big Chief. I wanted to do a bit more hot smoking but still be able to cold smoke. After reading about the UDS and how everyone seemed to love theirs for hot smoke, I decided to go that...
