Friend called me and said he wanted to know if I wanted a free UDS smoker. I looked around to see if someone was playing a joke on me. He was serious. He said it opens from the side and has dolly wheels attached to it. I will post pictures of it tonight. It is interesting because he said the fire bowl is made from a large drum brake with feet welded on. And the water pan is similar just smaller. I asked where he got it from. He said a laid off welder was selling some off the side of a road for 150 bucks each a few years ago. One of those down on his luck situations and he was making these literally on the side of the road with his welding truck in a covered tent. He said he bought it because he wanted a smoker. He now uses a traeger. I remember eating ribs made from it and they were awesome. I will pick it up and post pics. Hopefully, I won't have to do much to it. I do not want to mod. He said the only thing he recommended was adding an exhaust vent on top and a inlet vent on the bottom along with a gasket on the door and a coat of paint. I am ok with those. Pics coming I promise.
