First UDS Build

[wormtown q]

Picked up an unlined, food grade, open head 55 gallon drum for $20. Got it home drilled the holes needed for the grates and intakes, still trying to decide what to do as far as exhaust (actual chimney, holes in the top, etc.), open to any suggestions or advice based on experience. Here is the first pic burning it out. More to follow.

I used this one for my top vent https://www.bigpoppasmokers.com/top-vent-for-drum-smoker-kit. I also went 3/4" on my intakes and about the best it will do is 275 deg. at some  point I will take these up to 1". I thought I had some pics, will get a couple when the sun comes up.

Been a long time getting to this point but just about finished. Still need to figure out my chimney but paint and clear coat are on (duplicolor engine enamel and clear coat), just needs

to cure for a few days then needs a low fire to set the paint, coat and cure the interior and it will be good to go. Latest Pictures below. More to follow.
