    My Red Hot UDS

    Built this a couple years ago. Originally used 3/4 iron pipe for the intakes with PVC ball valves to regulate. Upgraded to the 1.5 inch intakes and painted the whole thing in high temp paint.

    Smoked a pork butt as a test this past week and it had to have been the easiest cook I've done on it! Temp was from 250-275 and I only got concerned and checked on it once throughout the whole cook. Quite impressed!

      Be careful there are stainless steel drums out there that will pull you into a MCS tailspin.

              If we had a thumbs down choice I’d give it to you, but only because this is a total tease. How about some more pics? Did you have some plans or just wing it? Are there hanging rods, grates, or both? Details, man. Details!

              OK, I gave you a "like", but don’t forget that I can "Unlike" it at any time 😉.

                      Mostly followed some plans I found online. Coal basket made from a Weber charcoal grate and some expanded metal. Have 2 Weber cooking racks about 6 inches apart from each other. I haven't used the bottom rack yet for anything other than placing a pizza pan with holes on it to act a bit as a diffuser/drippings catcher.

                      Gasket around the rim with a small slot where the ends of the gasket meet to insert my temp probes. Lid sits right down on it and locks it in.

                      Heading to the in-laws for. Low Country Boil today, but will have to find the next slab o' meat to cook.

                      Pic is of the pork butt!
