My UDS in Progress

[PhredS]

I read most (223 pages so far) of the UDS Mother thread and have assembled a UDS. I have lowered the intake valves since the pic was taken and painted it. Cooked a fatty (ok a flatty) to season it.

Here are the photos..

Looking good Phred!

Thanks Stingerhook. Thawing out a bone-in pork shoulder for this weekends pulled pork sammies.

Not saying that it's ugly - but if it was a pickup, you'd have zero problems merging onto a busy highway-they'd realize "that fellow is all about results"

Nice job Phred! I like that patina on that thing, looks cool.

You are going to get lots of great food off of that! I can't wait to see the pics from it.

A UDS??? Man that's so 2006.
It's all about electric, baby wood pieces, and non-involvement now dude.

I like it!

Looks great! I liked the character of the raw patina, but the nice paint job is more...civilized.

 

[Big George's BBQ]

Very nice. How did the shoulder turn out

About half way thru..

Nice work.

One suggestion:
Add a nut at the end of the supporting screws so the griddle can´t sleep and throw everything on the ashes.

It´s the soft way to learn it.
Mine was the hard one.

I hope you like it like I love mine.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will put some nuts on before next cook.
