They have yet to show up in my local Lowe's, but the price for the main chamber and the SFB will be $338. I love my UDS, but I'm seriously thinking about picking one of these up. I've been wanting to add more capacity and have a horizontal to "play with". It also helps that I have a $100 Lowe's...
I get it by the case and love it.
I can't wait to try the new Caribbean and Triple *** Cherry dry rubs. If you contact them they will allow you to purchased mix and match cases.
Looks really nice. I'd like to try a stick burner if I find the right deal, but I'll stick with my WSM and UDS for now. Congrats, food looks great, were you feeding the whole neighborhood because they sure must have smelled it all.
I forgot. If you have a bakery or a micro brewery around call and see if they have drums. I have a buddy who works for an italian foods distributor and he has 10 coming in full of olive oil they will give away once they empty them out.
First I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who helped me out and answered all of my questions before my build. Thanks especially to “bbq bubba” and “BBQ Enthusiast”.
I put my UDS together last week and have been meaning to post a picture. I'm VERY happy with it. I did ribs last Sunday and they...
Olive oil
Bob Evans sage sausage
Thin sliced Spanish onions
Sliced canned new potatoes
Salt and alot of pepper
Fry sausage and onions in the olive oil. Make sure you chop up the sausage. Add the potatoes when the sausage is 3/4 done. Continue to fry on medium heat, flipping a couple of times...
I use the receipe for "Magic Dust" quite often. It is highlighted in the book Peace, Love, and Barbecue (which I highly recommend).

So 27" from the bottom? Thanks so much for the quick reply. I'll be posting pics and a full parts list with prices in the next few days. It's seasoned and my first cook will be on fathers day. :)
Hey BBQ Enthusiast, it looks like I ended up with the same barrel you have. I bought mine new too. I got everything done except for mounting the food grate. I can't verify right now, but I think my barrel was ~ 38" tall.
Is yours the same and how far from the top did you mount the food grate...
It looks like you have a total of 3 intakes (1 ball valve, 2 w/ caps), is that correct? Any reason you went with 1/2" instead of 3/4"? Doesn't look like you welded them in, what are you using to keep them in position w/o leaks?
What did you use for your charcoal ring/basket and what size did...
Here is a link to the thread I started yesterday about building a UDS. It has just about all the specs you'll need in it. Good luck.

Thanks so much for all the replies. I will take lots of pictures and post them along with the materials list and specs. I'm really looking forward to doing this.
So, I posted last week that I have 10 free drums coming my way that are being shipped from Italy with EVOO in them. Found out yesterday they will be on a ship soon and it will be 6-8 weeks before I can get my hands on an empty one. If you're in the Philly area and want a free drum 6-8 weeks from...
Agreed, I always grill on my weber kettle unless time is just too much of a concern and then I'll use the weber gasser. For boneless chicken breast (wife requested, I like thighs) I brush on EVOO and coat kosher salt, coarse ground pepper, and chopped garlic. Sometimes I'll coat with a rub like...
Looks really nice. How many intakes do you have at the bottom and did you only use a ball valve on one of them? Looks like you have caps on some of them which I would think are either totally open or totally closed.
I'm going to be building mine soon and see so many different configurations. I...
