    Double Barrel build with Pics - What do you think?!

    Here's the build pics from my finished (almost!) double barrel smoker.  Rain has delayed everything a bit but let me know what you guys think.  I don't know how to weld or have access to a welder so the fab is a little rough, plus I inherited the top barrel for free so I needed to seal...

    Better choice: Silicon Gasket or Stove Gasket Cement?

    So I cut and fitted my piping on my double barrel build yesterday before the rain set in.  I am planning on using gasket rope for the lid seals but am more curious about what's the best option for sealing the pipe to barrel connection?  Since the pipe is stationary it shouldn't be a problem...

    Question about conducting heat

    I assumed there would be some difference in flow between sizes but it had me thinking... Obviously, the moe flow the better.  However, if our ideal temps are only within 50-75* of each other then would reducing the diameter control itself essentially? I am running two 4" elbows instead of...

    Question about conducting heat

    Is there a particular reason - other than readily available 6" stove pipe - that 6" is the only(?) diameter used in double barrel builds?  I took a look at some today for my build but they seemed huge!  Would decreasing the size to 4" not conduct enough heat?

    Optimal Diameter for Double Barrel Smoking Question ?????

    Is there a particular reason - other than readily available 6" stove pipe - that 6" is the only(?) diameter used in double barrel builds?  I took a look at some today for my build but they seemed huge!  Would decreasing the size to 5" or even 4" not conduct enough heat?

    Double Barrel Smoker Re-Design Concept

    bump before I buy my elbows to try this out - any last thoughts?

    Double Barrel Smoker Re-Design Concept

    Correct.  That was actually my plan although the drawing didn't really show it too well.  What do you think about heat diffusion?  I'm not worried about the smoke but not sure is the heat transfer will get me to the temps I want

    Double Barrel Smoker Re-Design Concept

    I've got some barrels and a decent setup idea for a double barrel build.  As I've been looking at all the builds I have seen the same diagram with stacked barrels, stope pipe coming up the center bottom from the firebox to the smokebox(barrel) with dual exhaust out the sides. From reading it...

    Lid Off - Temp Control Gone!

    So, I threw two massive spare racks on the UDS today and temp was hanging out a little high @ 275* for about two hours so I decided to foil and put back on.  I lifted off the lid to pull the racks off and as soon as I had them foiled and ready to go back on <5 min the coals had caught fire and...

    Vent Holes Vs Chimney

    For the pipe nipples on the bottom rim of the UDS i have read that almost everyone uses 3/4".  I have some leftover 1/2" pipe laying around.  Will the missing 1/4" make any sort of significant difference in airflow if I have a full chimney up top?

    Burn Bans

    We have a strict burn ban on fires in barrels.  I have no $ for sandblasting/powdercoating.  Will a wire brush be sufficient inside and out?

    55gal Barrel x2 Build

    I cut the top off one of the barrels and have begun another UDS build with it.  If UDS builds are so efficient then why are the majority of commercially produced/emulated smokers offset or otherwise?

    55gal Barrel x2 Build

    Good point.  For some reason I was assuming that the smoke would be drawn through the second barrel regardless of it's position on the first barrel. What about rotating the horizontal barrel so that the smoke output is on the top instead of the bottom???
