    I need some help understanding temperature readings

    I think I'm going to quit using the water pan the next few times, and it made me rethink how I want to set up my coalll grate.  It sits 3" of the bottom, but I have it sitting in a bowl with about 2 1/2 " clearance from the bottom of the bowl. I think it is not allowing the most efficient O2...

    I need some help understanding temperature readings

    Ok, I'm seasoning my new UDS, I have the dial thermometer mounted just under the upper rack. I also used a digital thermometer putting the probe through some holes on either side of the lid, the holes were from some sort of rack in the old uni-flame kettle grill. Any way, the temp seems to be...

    Here's some pictures of it so far, I plan on seasoning it tomorrow. I have the inside wiped down with cooking oil and the fire starts when I get home from work. If I have time I'm going to actually going to try smoking something on it. I still have to attach the hinges on the lid to the drum...

    First time using a Charcoal Smoker, couldn't get the temp. past 150

    Eric, I was thinking about making a different set up for my coals, something more like they use in the UDS that sounds like what you did. Also, this thing don't have a bottom in it. The coal pan sits on the legs and there is quite a gap around it. It also don't have any kind of adjustable...

    UDS from salvage parts- Finished! New pics.

    I had to cut the lid out and I'm using the lid from the kettle grill.  I did have to make the lid fit.  I tried to grind the edge of the lip of the barrel and wound up grinding through to the seam and it came right off just as if I would have cut the lid off under the lip so I smoothed out the...

    UDS from salvage parts- Finished! New pics.

    Thanks, that paint link answered a few questions I was going to post. 1. Pain type 2. Are those decals on the sports themed ones and 3. I noticed that some UDS have doors and some don't, I think I will try and fabricate a door for mine too. One other question, how tight does the lid have to...

    Yes sir, I learned that the hard way, very strong, even though I like allot of smoke taste, it was over powering.

    I think I may have a problem. Is this an early warning sign? - Q-View added
