Smokin John's UDS Build
I added another extra, a mount for my temperature gauges. After dropping on the ground a few times, I decided I had better rig something up.- smokin john

Smokin John's UDS Build
Bulk pick up has begun in my city - this is we're the city's sanitation department will cart off all of your trash items. This is a virtual smorgasbord of grill parts. It's like dumpster diving but you surf through stuff people have put out on the curb. I am hoping to gather up four or five...- smokin john

Smokin John's UDS Build
I found this UDS while surfing and thought it would be interesting if someone wanted to hinge the lid on their cooker. No explanation was given as to how it was constructed but it seems simple. The hardware looks like braces used in fence or utility door construction. It's just a matter of...- smokin john

Chief's 30 and 55 gal UDS builds
I have found in making smokers and grills there is no specific but a general way of personalizing your cooker. Your second build will incorporate items that you missed on the first one or new innovations. I opted to use a one inch ball valve and I am glad that I did. Fully opened with the other...- smokin john

?? Bafflle or defusier between charcoal basket and meat??
I know there are many ways to cook on the UDS but allowing the drippings to fall on the coals gives you the benefit of an "open pit" flavor which cannot be duplicated with an off-set or indirect heat. I use all three set-ups from time to time; water pan, heat deflector, and open pit.- smokin john

I want a kind of retro bottle opener but this is all Ace Hardware had at the moment. I'll put the real thing on the next one I build.- smokin john

Smokin John's UDS Build
Today I installed the inlets for the temperature sensor wires. I used two brass hose barbs (5/16" X 11/4") purchased from Lowes. I cut the long end off and screwed it into the hole that I had drilled. Once installed I cut the other end down to about 1/4" to make inserting the probe easy.- smokin john

Smokin John's UDS Build
Pulled pork cooked today. I welded the casters on and added a bottle opener. I need to install a grommet or something to run the wire from my temp guage into the pit. I'll get that done tomorrow. I am looking for some kind of chromed out pig to put on this UDS - add a little bling. If I can't...- smokin john
