    Think I screwed up

    Notching the cooking grate was also going to be my suggestion. I cut one of the 3 bolts a little shorter than the other 2 help on mine. Or moving them and adding some hooks like the others have suggested works too! And we've all made mistakes! If you turn it into something else, no one will ever...

    My UDS builds

    Thank you 1215! They were fun projects. Can't wait to see yours, the Total drum will make a cool theme. Looking at pictures of uds' on the interweb when building mine, a lot of the fancy ones were always painted in a sports theme, but I'm not a huge sports fan, so I went with the Breaking Bad...

    My UDS builds

    Well, since it took me some time to learn how to load+link+post pictures to show my offset build that I'm working on, in that section, I figured I'd do the same with some old UDS build pics. The black Breaking Bad themed one is my original one I built, about 4 years ago. I've done a ton of...

    2nd UDS

    I was wondering if it was the different exhausts, or, I've also read that some people find the higher intake extensions also make a difference. My uds is the one on the left, I've used it for about 4 years. The one on the right is one that I built a friend of mine last summer. Mine has a...

    Looks awesome! What changes that you made, do you think made the difference in how it runs?

    60 gallon compressor tank offset

    @dcecil some more pics are coming for you! @crazymoon and Brent b thanks! Q view will come in the future. And @luvcatchingbass the compressor tank is approximately 23 inch diameter, and 45 inches long. The thickness is about 3/16. I got both tanks for free, so it was a case of working with what...

    60 gallon compressor tank offset

    Hey Guys, Finally getting around to showing my smoker progress so far. I got lots of help reading this forum over the build, so I figured it's only right to contribute back into it! I made a UDS about 4 years ago now, and have been smoking on it a ton. Then, I made a mini UDS last spring, for...

    Smokers in Ottawa

    I'm from west of Almonte, I work in the west end of Ottawa. I have a normal sized UDS, a mini UDS, and am just putting the finishing touches on an offset I built. Can't wait to fire it up with some food on it (I've done a burn-out/practice burn, but no food yet).

    Hello from Canada!

    Thanks again guys! And, after a weekend schedule meeting with SWMBO, it turns out I won't have time to try out the new smoker this weekend after all. Hopefully I'll at least have some time to work on it and finish up some of the little jobs left. And maybe some time to upload some pics too.

    Hello from Canada!

    Hey everyone, New here, been smoking meat for about 4 years now, on a UDS I built (and tinkered with a Little Chief for a while before that too). Also built myself a mini uds a couple of years ago for travelling with, and a couple other full sized ones for some friends. Last winter I decided...
