That's not a UDS....but it could be a decent smoker, seen lot's of them around.

What Bubba said! That is made from a double drum wood stove kit. And I'm sure it works fine.
And I, for one, would like to see the "UDS" thing go away. The days of cobbling up a beat up drum are long gone.
The drums BDS, Bubba, and I build are far from being "UDS" (Ugly Drum Smoker).
Let's just call them what they are - drum smokers.
Mine are "SDS" - Silver Drum Smoker"

We had a shop heater that looked just like that.
It kept the shop pretty warm.
