    Fire in UDS

    I start my coals outside like everyone else but when i put my charcoal basket into my uds i usually just leave 2 vents open so the temp raises slower and i dont pass it. If you pass your temp to me its much more difficult to cool it down then it is to raise it.

    The cook went great! My temp control was so much easier! It makes me love the drum even more

    First drunk chicken

    Thanks! Even with the skin not being perfect it still tastes great! Also i think ive hit my breaking point with my current digital therm on this cook...it may be time for a maverick. I was having to guess an average temp based on my dome thermo i have. That sort of made it a bit more difficult...

    First drunk chicken

    The night before last i did my first drunk chicken. This was also the first stuff using my uds after correcting my air flow issues. I went to my local butcher and picked up a 3lb bird for me and the wife. After cleaning and drying i let it sit in the fridge for a while to dry the skin a bit...

    I think the 1 inch will work well. I may be getting a wire welder soon. If i do ill be welding them in. Until them i think ill use a conduit nut. Id never use anything but stainless for the pipes again in future builds. Thats one lesson i learned. Anyone know of any places who sell uds covers?

    I went ahead and did 3 holes up to the 1in. I just wanted them to all be the same. Slight ocd maybe. I made the holes big enough so it would fit but i still had to tighten the pipe down with pliers. Im waiting on my last piece of pipe for the ball valve. It shipped seperatly since i ordered it...

    I really enjoy it out here. Much better then fort worth where i used to live. Ive actually used the conduit washers on my ball valve. Worked out pretty good. But ive got one pipe that i can pull straight out of the hole with a little wiggling. I was concerned with still not getting a good seal...

    fortunately here in texas where i am it doesnt rain or snow to often here so im not to concerned with keeping it inside. and i realized how poor my seals are after my last cook. the coal burned for another 24 hours after i closed it off.

    i really need to do that. great looking setup you have. i was forced to steal a table from our back porch to hold all my stuff. the wife isnt thrilled that i made it my own. id really like to make a table sort of like a BGE for the uds to sit in. i also need to figure out somthing for my dome...

    mine is about as basic as you can get. i would love a table on the side. what did you use to do it? would you mind posting a picture of it? and i leave mine on the back deck so the wheels are not a huge issue to me but i would like to find a cover for it.
