I see no visible holes anywhere the coduit nipples were welded in and my friend ran another bead around them today just for insurance...I will get some high temp sealant tomorrow and put on all the screws and around the ball cock and the conduit...
thanxxxx for the reply and the humor is appeciated as well lol the nipples were welded in but I am going to get some high temp sealant just to make sure they are not leaking there...the bottom is intact hehe my first thought was that ...the opening in the top is the standard 2 inch bunge hole...
thats one of the problems I am having if I close off the 1/2 intakes and just use the ball valve it bottoms out to somewhere below 150 degrees...as soon as I open the 1/2 back up it climbs back up to 260 to 300 the darn thing has no happy medium so far LOL...I had a friend run another weld bead...
Guys and Gals I need some help I built a UDS a while back and I have had nothing but problems with the heat. It either wants to bottom out or hit 300+...for instance yesterday I cooked a butt and had to adjust the heat so many times it was unreal.
Here is my setup
my drum has a 2 inch bunge...
Hey guys and gals I am smoking a 10 to 12 lb wild boar ham sat for the first time. Any help on smoking times, temps for slicing and pulling, and brining would be appreciated.
Thanxxx

meateater... it was a very heavy smoke flavor couldn't even eat it all....I am thinking I saw way too much white smoke, but heck with just a handfull of apple chips I never would think it would produce that much smoke...I am thinking now it was the briqs...I used some i got at a local market...
Ok guys and gals today I tried to smoke a whole chicken....temps ran between 250 to 275ish....the last hour I ran it up to over 300 to crisp the skin. The results were a very strong smoke tasting chicken... I used less than half a basket of charcoal and only 15 or so lit briqs from my starter...
Thanks meat for the diagram...my basket is 9 inches tall and add the 3 inch legs that is 12 inch height......so should I measure 24 inches from the bottom of the drum for the basement rack? that would put me 12 inches over the basket...
