35mm is 1 3/8 inch .. so I'm betting it's used for the hole in the bottom? ( Merely an assumption here)
Hmm, on UDS Parts their air intake is 1.5 inches wide which comes to 38mm.35mm is WAY too big for air and temp control... You will not be able to control the temp...
UDS were originally designed with 3 each 1/2" full flow ball valves, and normally only 2 were used to control the temp... they were installed about 2" above the bottom of the drum...
Below are 2 pics I just grabbed from members threads/posts...

Thanks for your help, I took this thread to a diy store and they agreed with you all and got me the items.
I don't use a UDS , but if Dave asked it's probably worth answering .
it’s for the air intakes

Well, now you have a choice of whom to believe...

Here’s some iberico pork ribs I made yesterday in it. I hung them for 2hrs then Texas crutch then glazed.Nice looking UDS,

Is 250f not the right temp for smoking? I didn’t want it to go any higher as I have a grill for that.It sits at 250 because you do not have enough exhaust for good air flow..... All of the oxygen is being consumed by the fuel... Great environment for botulism.... IMO....
I installed a higher shelf to put the coal basket on for when I do wings or burgers. That way I can do two zone cooking at get higher temp. But for smoking with coal at the bottom it’s 350f but with a diffuser plate in I have it sit at 250fHmm.....not bad. Been looking at UDS myself.
