    UDS on steroids

    I am contemplating making a UDS out of a 120 gallon propane tank if I can find one affordable enough. Can anyone tell me how much one of those weighs empty? I still want to be able to lift it in the back of a truck to take places like I currently do for tailgating parties ect. I know it will...

    UDS extra intake holes???

    I am using my UDS for the first time today. I am smoking an injected chicken. I half filled my basket with briquets and started approximately 10 briquets in my chimney. At 3 15 I dumped my chimney into my basket and put on my rack, my bird, and the lid. I have been monitoring the temp below the...

    Wanting good chicken smoker recipe

    I am planning on using my UDS for the first time this weekend. I got me 2 of those chicken/beer can holders from wal mart. I figured I would start with something simple like a chicken for my first time since I am still learning the temp control ect. I was wanting to try a new KC style dry rub...

    Pics of my UDS

    This is my UDS I just finished. Notice the patch I put on the drum. It had a crack so I just welded a patch over it. Those 2 stainless bolts by the patch are utensil holders. I got 2 grates installed. One is at the recomended height of 24" from the bottom of the basket. The second grate holders...

    seasoning my UDS and poor temp control

    Someone give my a scenario for when they ignite the coals in their UDS. I got mine seasoning outside now with peanut oil and the temps are rather dissapointing. I plan on using the Minion method when I actually smoke something to get max life out of my coals. But to season, I just dumped a half...

    Lid questions

    My drum has a lid that had a band clamp. I got the band clamp. I got the lid all set up with my handle and exhaust ect. I also scraped and burned the gasket out of the lids lip. The lid fits fairly tight. If one side is seated on the drum the other side will stick up a tad unless you press it...

    Thermometer questions

    I have 3 thermometers. One came with my weber and sits in the dome lid and you can remove it, but I never use it on that grill. The other is I believe an old Snap On AC thermometer that goes to 220 degrees. The 3rd is in the door of my masterbuilt electric. It has a wingnut on the backside that...

    Paint

    How many colors does "high temp" paint come in? Can you just use standard paint or does it really have to be high temp? How does everyone get those cool team macotts on their barrels?

    Why 3 intake ports instead of 1

    I bought all my hardware at the Home Depot today to start building my UDS. I bought 3    3/4x close nipples and 1 ball valve and 2 caps. This is what my parts list called for. Before i start drilling, can anyone tell me why you need all 3? I would think just one nipple with the ball valve could...

    UDS questions

    Will the lid off of my weber grill in the pic fit right on a 50 gallon drum for a UDS build? After brainstorming all day I am thinking of stripping my weber cart down and turning it into a mobile UDS smoker. I got a few questions. 1- How do you guys clean out the bottom of all the ashes? 2- Of...

    Ideas for building my first offset charcoal smoker

    I currently use a upright store bought electric smoker. The thing works exceptionally well. But what I hate about it is that when doing multiple racks of ribs, you have to cut them in two to fit, and the stuff on top always drips on the stuff below it. This causes a real problem when I have 2...
