Worthy Advice from the Masters of the UDS (These are sometimes subthreads of the UDS thread)

Norcoredneck

All this is just my opinion from following the threads.
It is fun to out cool the next guy but some things work and some don't. I just advise if you are limited on resources and want a cooker that the masses here can advise on, go simple basic build. This is a great discourse on DRAFT and CONTROL

I can feel it... i am tired... worst part is in order to do this you HAVE to read each page....so... you end up going "fark!!!! I wish I had of seen that."

I also am depressed that I think Norcoredneck stole one of my ideas before I thought of it. I was so thinkin I was the only one who thought of that.
 
Farking amazing, sir. Seriously. :clap:

BTW I built my UDS mainly just to have a father/son project (it's a fanfarkingtastic father/son project btw), but I use that thing all the time. It really is an amazing cooker, especially for the cost.

This was a BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!

2010 will come out the day I get a farkin PBC.

Hope you farkers appreciate what I have Farking done for y'alls azz. Especially those who get tired of reading this chit Like I did.
 
Phil... its time to make this a roadmap as we discussed. Mostly those who have NOT built one will look at this. Also, if you showed and telled and want to find your original post its listed under the appropriate section under the year you originally posted it. Sorry if I misspelled any names. There were a lot who posted their UDS photo and never posted again... of course... once you build the most perfect smoker in existence, what would you need us for anymore.
 
Thank You so much Donnie!!! Your work here is greatly appreciated. :clap2: :clap2: Thank you for all your hard work!!
 
Fantastic Work !! I hope You know that Your Hard work is Very Much appreciated Donnie !! :thumb: :clap: :clap:
 
I Felt this last one... took forever. 2009 seemed to be the year of the UDS.
