Has anyone here hung and smoked whole chickens? If so, how did you hang them? I have a UDS with three. Hanging rods. I will be using 3 in stainless hooks. I have ten hooks
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks for all the help guys. I ended up going with a brass hose bib, as I believe it gives me more control of the air that the handled ball valve, plus it was less than half of the same size handled ball valve!
I'll post a picture when I get a pic
Hello all, picked up my UDS after the first of the year, and I have found myself making excuses to use it every weekend.
I bought it from a family that makes them close by, and used it in the stock formation for about 3 weeks before I started modding it. Hey, it's much cheaper to mod that my...
I have been considering some more control in the oxygen department from the 1 1/4 in hole on the side of my UDS. I currently use magnets, but I am not happy with the amount of control it gives me, as the magnets are small rectangular shaped, and do not cover the hole completely, as the side of...

Thanks for the insight Dave. My current plow disc sits on the bottom of the barrel, that may be an issue..
What do I use to drill the hole? a drill bit, or a hole saw?

It is a 55 g drum, with a plow disc with a T handle for holding charcoal, There is 1 1" hole on the lower side for air. The top of the barrel has 6 3/4 in holes, which is used for rebar to hang meat from with meat hooks. One side of all the...
geez...post recessitation
I'm in the process of building my charcoal basket. The piece of SSEM I bought was cut to 9" x 60" and trimmed down to +- 58 in for the circumference of an 18.5 " weber cooking grate.
Currently, I run a plow disc with a T for the charcoal holder, and when full, I get...
