uds temps
Did you mean to say your basket was 8" in diameter or did you mean 18"? If it's really 8" then your intake air may be bypassing your coals and going straight out, carrying some of your heat with it.- jay6896

Stop me from wasting time and money!!
The smoker is almost ready to go with the exception of the charcoal basket. That will happen this weekend. The top is slightly warped and there is no gasket that will seal that. I ordered these and I think this should fix the problem with the top.- jay6896

UDS ate my lunch
Well I thought I was almost done with my build but then I kept reading (here) and found out I wasn't. I also thought I was doing a great thing by getting a food grade LINED barrel and found out I wasn't. I did the initial burn out and it lasted most of 1 day. I used 3/4 of a truckload of pallet...- jay6896

Started a UDS build last week. Here is where I'm at.

I found some box chest clamps online. light duty and a slight hook on the end that I think will hold the lid down nicely. Once I get to that point i may order them if this thing tests out to be quite the little leaker.- jay6896

I like the clamp idea. I also though about putting a nice exhaust stack and a hefty handle to add weight to help seat the lid. Any idea what those clamps are called or where I can get them from?- jay6896

Stop me from wasting time and money!!
First post since joining. I just snagged a 55 gallon drum with removable lid and am ready to get going on this UDS build. My questions are mostly centered around the lid. I've read the ids can warp and while mine has a groove for a large o-ring the o-ring is not in there. I REALLY don't want to...- jay6896
