    UDS burnout

    I used cheap firewood for the burnout on mine. I have also seen plenty of people using used pallets for fuel for the burnout. Like you said you are still gonna grind down to bare metal and season. I don't see a problem with it.

    Need advice on my paint options on my first UDS build..

    I used cheapo spray paint from the hardware store. The stuff that is like $1 per can. I went through about 3 cans to get a couple of nice coats. I have not had any trouble with chipping/peeling/bubbling of the paint. It has held up just fine.

    UDS with two grates and one thermometer

    I would go with just below the lower grate as well. I have one thermo installed just below both of my grates..and like DDave mentioned, once the drum has been running a while and temps stabilize-the difference between the 2 temps is pretty minimal. I also used to use a temp probe on the grate...

    long cooking time?

    Great advice. I usually try and say something valiant about wanting to provide a nice meal for my family, but she is smart enough to know that I just want to play with fire and drink a few beers.

    long cooking time?

    Definitely sounds like an overnighter is in order. It will be worth it, trust me. I have had my wife ask me "Why is it that you can barely drag your @ss out of bed at 6am to go to work some mornings, but you have no problem hopping out of bed at 4am on your day off to fire up the smoker?"

    The Wu-DS

    You regulate temps by controlling the air intakes. Less air for a lower temp, more air for a higher temp. My drum likes to run at about 240-250 but I have made it run closer to 225. I have also let it run over 350 when crisping up the skin on chicken or baking bread in the smoker.

    The Wu-DS

    I used a chisel to start a small hole at the edge of the top then used a reciprocating saw to cut out the lid from the top. This left the upper ridge/seam intact. It left behind a lip that stuck out about 1/4 inch (a little more in some spots) that I just hammered down flat. Let me know if...

    boston butt cook time

    1.5 hours per pound is a good rough guideline. It may go faster, or it may take longer. But make sure you use that thermo and cook it to the proper temp, regardless of time. But if you follow that guideline you will have a rough idea of when dinner will be ready.
