Not a UDS but... a UDR?

Hey guys, after building a couple of drums I decided to try something new. Build went really well, wish I could of taken more pictures.

Moar explanation please. Am curious. Have a few solid tops currently not in use

I like the idea, but I'm thinking a horizontal setup with the drum might be more advantageous. Nice thing is, that it'd be a super quick, easy, and cheap build.

I was looking for an 'al pastor' spit like they have in Mexico. I'm still messing around with it a little. Trying to get more heat to come out the front not just the top.

Ahh, that explains the position of the fire.... Nice.

You could probably build a deflector into the top that's angled to direct the heat.

Yeah I'm going to throw a cookie sheet in there and see if it helps with heat, also I found that raking the coals to the front of the baskets helps alot and using small splits of wood and charcoal.
