    Production UDS

    I found a lid for my barrell, but it doesn't fit because the top of my barrell is a little off. Does anyone know if I could heat the barrell and then put on the lid? It really doesn't matter because I could use it for a future project.

    Hello FWIsmoker Well my bright idea to use a turkey fryer basket went to getting the bottom burned out. It did last for five smokes. I have expanded metal so I am going to try and make a basket. I like the size of the turkey fryer basket so I am going to model the new one after it. My question...

    Dutch, I am inclined to agree with you, but I don't think the expanded metal holes are much bigger or bigger at all than the holes in the fryer basket. Having said that you have convinced me to make a basket out of expanded metal. I have plenty here at home to use. It might be a while because I...

    The basket is actually a turkey deep fryer basket with holes everywhere. I think I am getting plenty of air to the basket. I just need to get a good lid or put a gasket where the tub meets the barrell on the inside. When I lift the tub I can see where it meets the barrell. I am thinking of...

    By the way. Very nice build. I might steal your idea for the untesil rack.

    I will try that. I had read that someone used lamp allthread for their build which I did, but then found out it wasn't large enough. I  use it to stick in a Taylor pen remote just to compare to my built in thermometer. So it's not a total waste.

    Looks good. I tried putting my remote temp leads through, but I need to drill a bigger hole. I also had the same lid you had,. but couldn't use it because it was bent. Yes the images look good.

    UDS with a funky lid

    To bad though because I am getting alot of smoke coming out of where the lid goes over the barrell. I might try and finding where they meet and putting a high heat gasket on the inside of the lid. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

    UDS with a funky lid

    Yes, but I read somewhere for galvenizing to get someone sick it had to be subject to at least 800 degrees for it to burn off the zinc. Anyway I have done four smokes with it and I am alive answering questions so I guess it's ok.
