    So yet another I'm building a UDS (what do you expect in this sub?)

    I'll take you up on that offer! Let me know what you need to cover shipping. I've had a couple more smokes since last updated, smoked a chicken and a pork shoulder the other night. Went pretty well, temps didn't budge once I dialed it in. Got a couple Q-Views but haven't had a chance to load...

    So yet another I'm building a UDS (what do you expect in this sub?)

    What I did because I did have a fair bit of wind blowing in the exhaust (smoke kept coming out of the intakes) was I took my charcoal chimney and set it on the exhaust upside down. I'll do something a bit more elegant later on. Still a couple odds & ends to take care of, put a hanger on the lid...

    So yet another I'm building a UDS (what do you expect in this sub?)

    Still need to paint it but it was WAY too windy today. Anyways, had a pretty good smoke today, couldn't get the temps to hold how I want just yet but all it'll take is a bit more practice. New smoker and a lot of wind makes for a learning curve. My family all likes their ribs a bit different so...

    So yet another I'm building a UDS (what do you expect in this sub?)

    I smoked a few boneless chicken breasts last night while seasoning it. Figured why let the smoke go to waste? They were good but nothing special. Literally thawed them, put a little salt and pepper on and tossed them on the smoker. This weekend I'll be doing some spare ribs, never done a brisket...

    I plan on it. Its adjustable so if its off I can fix it. Didn't do it first because..well...I wanted to test out the smoker and I'm impatient. I'll pull it off tomorrow and test it. I saw where some people drilled out a bolt to hold the thermo steady. Hopefully this weekend I'll have a bit of...

    Got everything assembled. For the record, 1-1/8" holesaw is just a bit too small for a 1" black pipe nipple. Took the dremel with a grind wheel to get a little more room, had to take MAYBE 1/16 off the diameter to get it to fit.  Picked up a 12" deep fry thermometer, drilled the hole and stuck...

    Alright, so cleaned out, red liner gone, got started assembling everything. Got the rack bolts in place, handles on the drum and the lid and legs on the basket. I ended up buying a closet basket for the time being until my guy can get around to building the basket out of expanded. It looks like...

    So yet another I'm building a UDS (what do you expect in this sub?)

    So I found a little time to work on this today. The first burn didn't really do much so I decided to give it another try. Loaded the barrel full of scraps and let it go for a while. Once it died down to the bottom and a small manageable fire I had a stroke of genius. I have (had) an old grill...

    Thanks for all the suggestions, hopefully get this build going this weekend!

    So yet another I'm building a UDS (what do you expect in this sub?)

    Thanks! I bought bolts for the first grate but then thought about the shelf racks and figured it'd be an easy way to have everything adjustable. If the brass would work (I think it would) it would cost me about $6 for everything. Another question, for the charcoal basket. I have a buddy that is...

    It was so windy I didn't need a leaf blower. Metal was glowing red around the vent holes just from the wind. This is basically what I was planning to do. I figured I'd see how far off it is and then just go switch them out. Looks like 1" pipe will be the closest fit, actually will be a bit...

    It's all untreated and unstained/painted. Good, that will save me from having to tear pallets apart or cut them up, I'll just dump a bunch of scraps in and let it burn.

    Thanks dirtsailor. Little bit different direction than I was thinking but looks good! I might go that route instead.  I got to start the burn out today but think it'll take another burn or two. Will take a closer inspection but it looked like the red liner came out pretty good from the first...
