    Scrubbing out UDS?

    Hey all, On to my last steps before the first cook. Tomorrow night I'll be seasoning the drum, but obviously wanted to scrub it out first. It has been sand blasted inside and is otherwise clean. I see in other threads people mentioning "Simple Green" to scrub out the drum. Down here in...

    Statts' DUS (Down Under Smoker)

    Good to hear you're going to have a crack. Very rewarding project to undertake. The front 25mm will only be used when getting the pit up to temperature, and the cap put back on then. The 2x 20 inlets will be ample for low and slow temps.

    Statts' DUS (Down Under Smoker)

    Statts' DUS (Down Under Smoker)

    Statts' DUS (Down Under Smoker)

    Hi all, Long time lurker and occasional poster, but I have just finished my UDS build and thought I would show some pics. The drum started off as an open-top lined food grade drum. I pre-mounted everything and drilled all the holes, then dropped it off to have it sand blasted inside and out...

    Help-Charcoal Basket-Lighting and cook times

    Jumping in on this thread as I've just finished my build and will be doing my first cook this weekend.  Did you put the half chimney of lit charcoal on top of the unlit charcoal in the basket? Or did you use the method where you keep a hollow in the middle of the unlit charcoal with a paint can...
