    Bmaddox's 1st UDS build w/ pics

    I know a lot of guys use the fiberglass rope for stoves to help seal them. Sorry to hear about the leaks!

    First UDS (mini) build

    Cool, I'll give it a shot when I have it back. Tonight is welding night with my bro-in-law, we"re gonna weld a few baskets that I can throw in storage because I know I'll be building more of these in the future too.

    First UDS (mini) build

    I just picked up some "close" nipples like the first pic along with some caps and a ball valve. I also got some conduit nuts - do they need to soak in vinegar or something to remove the coating? And...what is the best order to install the intake parts on the drum and each other?

    Bmaddox's 1st UDS build w/ pics

    Thanks for the reminder - I read that once. Maybe I'll just do the straight valve.

    Bmaddox's 1st UDS build w/ pics

    Cool thanks. I'll be picking up the valves and what not today and I want mine raised so its not sticking out but not way tall like a lot of UDS I've seen.

    I like that short pipe for the ball valve, I am building my first UDS (mini) and may have to do that. How long did you go with?

    First UDS (mini) build

    Good to know, thanks.  I have 4 1" holes drilled with a hole saw but am unsure what to do to regulate air. I don't love the nipple/ball approach because I think i'll stub my toes but when I put a free magnet on when I seasoned it it melted lol. Are there any other good methods to do this?

    Honey mustard corned beef on a mini

    I love corned beef and will have to try smoking it along with the mustard/honey for a new take - thanks for the inspiration!

    First UDS (mini) build

    Good to know on the brushing vs cans. I was planning on getting some header paint - do I need a header primer too or can I just use the paint?

    First UDS (mini) build

    In definitely going to follow the process to the T. I did do a bit of curing but I'll gonna use the weed burner to heat it a bit and help cure.

    First UDS (mini) build

    I built a mini-WSM in a few hours and love it but wanted something a bit bigger. Well, I got a new 30 gallon drum from Zoro tools for a decent price and did a burn and painted but the primer I used was high heat and the paint was high heat grill paint, both by Rustoleum. The paint never really...

    Sandblast seasoned UDS?

    Great, thanks. I'll try to get that done this week and paint it properly and then a proper seasoning.

    Sandblast seasoned UDS?

    Cool. I want to do the inside too but would the stuff stick or take it out?

    Sandblast seasoned UDS?

    I don't like how the paint turned out - can I sandblast the whole thing? Will the media stick to the seasoning coat?

    Can I season my drum?

    I got a new 30 gallon from Zoro tools (rust inhibitor lining) and did a burnout along with a weed burner on the outside. The outside matched what I've seen others looks like but what about the inside. I rain a wire brush over it and it's still mostly a dull black. Am I okay to season or does it...
