Ribs are rubbed and ready to go on. Roast is seasoned...

    Thanks for the Points Gary, I'm gonna play with it and see if I need 4 or cap 2 of them. The reason I did 4 was for the look and starting up. I figure if I have 3 - 1" intakes open to start up I need more then 3" of exhaust. So I did 4 - 1 1/2" exhausts. Might look into some magnets or some...

    I have everything wide open at the moment and it's up to 264. been about 1 hr since I lit it. gonna let it get to about 275 then see about holding it there for a while to see how she does. I figure a little hotter then I would normally run it for the seasoning. Then I will back it down to cook.

    Made the fire basket last night and drilled the holes in the bottom of the top barrel. Today is the day to season. Wooo hooo. Finally. Still need to paint the handles but it was to windy last night.

    Still need to paint the handles, build the basket and drill the holes between the barrels. Could be done in a couple hours as soon as I find them.

    Tired of bad thermometers, built my own

    Looks good. I just started building something similar called the heatmeter. It only has one thermocouple for the pit and 3 thermistor probes for meat. Also uses a raspberry pi. Is on github https://github.com/CapnBry/HeaterMeter/wiki/HeaterMeter-4.2-Hardware and support is on another...

    Thanks guys. This was my first real welding project. I had to fill in more then a few holes. The barrels are thin. Spent a bit of time on the grinding wheel.

    Thanks @timberjet almost wish I could keep it unpainted. But it would rust in days. And it would probably blind me in the summer sun. Gonna do the barrels with black 1200 degree grill paint and the handles, living rings and all pipes red while leaving the hinges and latches unpainted.

    That's coming out great. In my UDS I have 7 inches between racks. Not sure on a reverse flow setup though. I Agree building is half the fun. Just about done with my latest build and starting to decide on my next project. Might be a different hobby though. Maybe a new remote control plane.
