    Myron Mixon's Trash Ash Smokers?????

    Build a UDS for 1/4 the price and more capacity. I got to admit, he was pretty damn funny on The Craig Ferguson show! "We speak the kings English down there...Elvis"!

    A Little Help Please

    Here is mine. Bought the disk from a farming supply store then added the 2" band and horse shoe handles. It has 3 9" legs welded to the bottom for campfire cooking and 3 24" conduit extensions (shown) for cooking on the propane burner. It handles 20lbs of fajitas or carnitas no problem!

    I just got WOOD!!!! Ahhh, wait

    You really can't go wrong with either, personal preference. I like Cherry and Hickory for ribs. I use a lot of Apple for poultry. Enjoy!

    Smoker Paint: Tired of Black: What's Good Paint?

    I took DDave's tip and went with Duplicolor high temp engine paint. There are many colors to choose from and is only $5.49 a can. This is my UDS lid, 3 coats of Chevy Orange and 2 coats of clear. Did a very hot seasoning and held up great!

    Smoking whole chickens

    Like others have said don't foil and keep the heat at 325, makes for better skin. Try brining for a few hours and do beer can chicken. Flavor is unbelievable and very juicy!

    Smoking In So Cal

    That looks sweet man! What a great project, can't wait to see the pics of your first smoke. BTW, thank you for your service, we appreciate it! Have brunch for me at Monterrey Bay Canners. Love OC!

    UDS questions. What would you pay for a pre-built UDS?

    I'll sell you one for $349! DDave is more established, probably cost you $500! Seriously, you can build your own with minimal tools and some help from guys on this board, don't sell yourself short, you can do it and it is more worthwhile!!

    Does your drum have a water pan?

    Do you really taste a burnt fat taste also on long smokes? I love the fat but then again I didn't get to look like this eating sprouts! I'll try foil and let you know! Thanks

    Does your drum have a water pan?

    I hear ya Rick, but isn't that the same taste you get from grilling or is it more pungent because it is a long cook? I grilled 1" rib-eyes tonight on my Weber and that smell and taste of juices dropping on the coals is to die for! Granted it isn't a multi hour cook. Thoughts?

    Does your drum have a water pan?

    OK, besides working the intake we just need to get in and get out quick. I wonder if the pan of sand Rick mentioned would help with a big blast of air if the pan was wide enough to cut down the airflow? I like the steel plate just not the additional fuel usage. This was the whole selling point...

    Does your drum have a water pan?

    Hover it above the fuel basket Rick? Foil is to keep the sand sanitary correct?

    Does your drum have a water pan?

    DDave, have you tried the bricks to retain/stabilize heat as Tip stated earlier. Would that not serve a similar purpose as the steel plate and not compromise the fuel efficiency? I have a buttload of granite river stones, maybe I'll try that.

    Does your drum have a water pan?

    Ah gotcha, I was hoping it wasn't going to use more fuel. That one thing I love about the UDS. Maybe I just use it when smoking something I need to tend to a lot, like when spritzing or foiling. I'm doing beer can chickens tomorrow so I probably don't need it since I don't spritz those. Thanks...

    Does your drum have a water pan?

    Wow Dave, I hadn't thought of that. Did you need to open your intake more to compensate for the plate or leave it the same? I'm smoking tomorrow, don't have any steel on hand but might try doubling up some HD foil instead. What do you think?

    Does your drum have a water pan?

    Thanks guys, I'll give Ace a try. Donny, did that original paint on your new drum hold up well through hot smokes? I'd like to buy a new barrel for my next build, burning and grinding that red liner sucked and I used this monster wire wheel! That thing will tear you up quicker than a bobcat!

    Does your drum have a water pan?

    Thanks, I looked at HD so I will check out ACE. Did you buy your Kingsford lid new, if so where? All I am missing is a lid and haven't been able to track down a donor Weber lid.

    Does your drum have a water pan?

    Nice UDS! Let me take a guess, is your ash tray a pizza pan from Walmart? If so I have the same one, works great, holds 10lbs of charcoal/wood ash!! Can I ask where you found those side handles? I haven't been able to find a handle that works good on the radius. Thanks!!
