    New year - New UDS (Australian build)

    Yeah there is 4 inches of clearance on the bottom, I'm probably just not leaving it long enough to heat up. I haven't done any really long cooks on it yet.Going to do a pulled pork next week so I'll really test it out then.

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

    Nice work! I've seen countless builds about how painful that red liner can be. Good to know there is actually a fairly easy way to get rid of the liner, I'll have to keep that in mind for my next build

    New year - New UDS (Australian build)

    UPGRADES!!! Home from work for a week, had to upgrade my UDS, I'd been obsessing about it for the two weeks i was away at work! I sent half a day going round to a few scrap yards trying to find some perforated sheet or mesh, I though a sheet of scrap steel from a laser cutter, would be perfect...

    Aussie UDS

    Just wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone, I'm new to smoking, with my first smoker being a freshly made UDS. It was a rush job and still needs some work done, but I love it! And am thoroughly hooked on cooking with it. Already thinking up ideas for additions to it. Feel free to have a look...

    I don't see how you can "draw a line in the sand" regarding the morality making your own compared to buying something. Especially when their is such a strong DIY culture around BBQ and smoking, I've spent hours and hours of my time trawling through hundreds of builds, all from avid DIYers who...

    New year - New UDS (Australian build)

    Yeah, Brisbane is a bit tropical for a lot of stone fruits, but I did plant a tropical peach tree, a grape vine and an olive tree about 3 months ago... Might be waiting a while before i get some decent cuttings from them  I'm planning on making a maze pellet smoke generator, as I have found an...

    New year - New UDS (Australian build)

    Thanks for all the positive feedback,it's motivating me to get the rest of the things done and start cooking some serious bbq. As a fellow aussie, Moikel, what woods do you use when you are smoking? And where are you getting them from? I've got plenty of bottlebrush wood at my place and I've...

    New year - New UDS (Australian build)

    Haha thanks Wolf, I'm currently working in a remote gold mine in Australia, where I work for 2 weeks than fly home for a week. Only being home for a week at a time really gets you motivated to get things done. The downside is I've spent two weeks at work thinking about all the things I want to...

    Yeah I'll update this thread when I get a chance to make my charcoal basket, might have to butcher one of the pizza pans from the kitchen... better not tell the Lady of the house, it's always easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission

    G'day from Australia

    Thanks for the replies, I've put my build up in the UDS build forums. It was a bit of a rush job, but I'm happy with the result. I'm planning on doing some pulled pork next week so i'll put some photos in the QVIEW Cheers Credan

    New year - New UDS (Australian build)

    I'd wanted to build an UDS for months, looking a photos, making some design sketches, reading everything i could find, but never taking the leap. Then i blinked and it was 2015, enough was enough and I decided to build me a smoker!  i was lucky enough to be visiting my mum just after new years...
