Mine:

My painting skills are for naught, but I will get better.

Sample pron from last week:

This is my first U.D.S. I have already cooked 3 pork Butts and couple of chickens. The ash pan which is detachable, is from a Dollar Store table top 14" grill and the rack on the side is cut from the same cheap grill grate. It is where I place my electronic temp gauge, the handles are also from the same Dollar Store grill ($14.00) The pull latches that hold the lid on were ordered from Amazon


This vent I cut from 6x18" aluminum sheet from Home Depot

DGzee,

THAT is a charcoal basket, what does that thing hold, two 20 lb bags? I love it!

My first UDS

I broke it in today.

Built my first last night, not done yet but we're getting there. I've got about eighty dollars in materials so far, that's including the drum. Not bad.

My 4 year old helped tape it off and paint it, her design and color choice, I think it turned out great!

Love the flip top lid, and was ondering if anyone ever used the bottom of a weber and not just the top, I figure it would give you more space on the top rack for a beer can chicken or something large.

Here is my build. Have only done 2 cooks on it so far.

Wording on the bottom so just incase she gets lost, people can return her.

Custom handle by Brethren Marty Leach!

Gigantor charcoal basket before I put the pizza pan under it.

New Mods on the FrankenTurboDeath Smoker!

Having patiently waited for that strange orange orb in the sky to once again return to the UK I thought I would get the UDS out from it's hiding place and do the mods I have been wanting to do.

Firstly is the Basket. I have fixed a cheap 52cm grill grate covered in foil to it to hopefully catch more ash and drippings! It is a pain to get in and out but hey no one is perfect!

Next I have cut a notch in the side (I know it could be straighter but hey it is an "Ugly" Drum Smoker) for the therm wires. You may notice that I cut "Intentionally deep" erm so I can fit more therm wires in, in future? However with a handily placed fridge magnet I can seal up the hole!

 

[Johnny_Crunch]

That slit in the side is a great idea!

Here's what I'm workin with.
