Joined this group recently while I was in the process of building a UDS. I had an old olive oil drum that I picked up 8 years ago with plans to build a smoker but for whatever reason it just sat out in the elements until I got around to it this year. That made the cleanup a bit harder but, oh well. Here are some shots of the progress to the first batch of ribs.
This was a sealed drum and fortunately not lined. I used a piece of 1/8" x 1 1/4" flat stock to make a ring to hold a Weber lid on top. Three 3/4" pipe nipple intakes, two with risers and ball valves. Racks at 2", 9" and 17" down from top. Ports for 12" turkey fryer thermometers 1" below top two racks.
