Hi Gents,
I'm brand new to the forums, and, well, everything. I am looking for a hobby and I like to cook. Of course I like BBQ and smoked meat and its not something you find alot of (at least in the way I am used to from back in the USA) here in Germany where I live. I want to build a UDS smoker to make smoked beef jerky with. Maybe this is a bit overkill for just making Jerky, and considering i have very little experience building anything (other than computers). But, like I said, i'm looking for a hobby.
So right now I'm reading all I can, browsing around the forums, and starting to search around for a non-sealed drum or two nearby that I can get for cheap.
I am looking at the non-welding build because I have 0 welding experience and dont know anyone who does. However, If I had to, I'm sure I could find someone there are alot of artists here who make stuff with scrap/metal. I suppose I could just ask one.
Anyways I will post back here as I find parts and figure out the plan! :) Cheers!
