    My First UDS Build, In England

    So the first seasoning burn was partly successful. As say partly as temperature didn't hold, but to be fair I wasn't paying attention to it and left it be. So I lit up about 1/3 basket of lumpwood and opened all vents to leave it to season up the oil coating. After about an hour I was happy...

    Charcoal, and Suppliers

    Ah Well I gone wrong already then, as I dismissed briquettes totally for a smoker, thinking more natural lumpwood would be better. And never fear, you won't catch me anywhere near instant light products or any fuel etc.

    My First UDS Build, In England

    So i rushed home from work to use a couple of hours of daylight.... Sadly im still not happy with my paint job, the paint was meant to be more of a "satin" finish but its very matt finish and getting very scuffed already! So long term i will look at a different finish, but admittedly it will do...

    My First UDS Build, In England

    All Good, just about done for the day. Inside scrubbed out and oiled (Canola, not yet seasoned) and two coats of paint on it. Not sure how good my paint job will hold, ive never been good at painting even with sprays, but its protection and looks reasonable.. I shall leave it to dry, put it in...
