DILLY DILLY! I like the IH avatar my man. As a powerstroke owner, I have been looking for an IH emblem for my new grill!

Nothing to crazy here...dozen cowboy cut chops and a 10#chicken.Using the MES and apple pellets for the chops and WSM with hickory/apple for the chicken.The Buds are already flowing.Hopefully Brady and gang drop a bomb on Philly so we can have a post game fireworks display!

Man I have the old MES 30 inch and the temp swings were sooooooo bad. I built a UDS and haven’t looked back!

 

[richiesracks]

What is a UDS?

 

[SmokinAl]

Good start!
A UDS is an Ugly Drum Smoker, they are usually made out of a 55 gallon drum.

Thanks for the explanation. I've seen some nice ones on here tho. What's the tube for that comes up from the bottom? Guru air intake?

Yeah some people get all fancy with it. Mine just has 3 one inch holes spaced evenly around. Two have a 1” OD close iron pipe nipple to a 90 elbow then a 1” OD pipe that comes up about 2 feet. The third is just a 1” OD close iron pipe nipple to a ball valve so I can dial in the temps better. Some people go all out in theirs but mine is super basic but I don’t care because it works. Once I get the temps dialed in it will go all day without me touching it, between 225-235.
