2004年12月26日 · This is the mother of all UDS threads. All information you will need to build a UDS is in this thread. use this, and a search of the forum for UDS and you will find a wealth of information. ***** I recently scored a free food grade 55 gallon drum. I bought a weber replacement grill and some misc. hardware.

2009年6月5日 · UDS "advantages:"-- Easiest to design and build. No special skills or equipment required.-- No-brainer to operate. Great for beginners.-- Parts are easy to come by in many ways.-- More fuel efficient. UDS "disadvantages:"-- Cooking mess stays in the barrel and must be cleaned (some say using oil dry in the bottom helps)-- Less rack space

2008年10月12日 · Couldn't wait for Easter. When I put the ham on the grill, I realized quickly that my UDS lid wouldn't provide enough clearance, so I used my weber kettle lid. It's not a tight fit, but it works. I'm basting the ham with a honey/brown sugar spice glaze: It's …

2012年12月17日 · My first UDS had temps all over the place and I thought the answer was a temp control fan setup. Well there expensive so I thought maybe build a little better UDS. Small things like a pizza pan defuser a Weber lid and a tighter build made for an UDS that needs no controller. I get it to temp and it stays there for the whole cook.

2013年5月10日 · Hey folks, I've finished the UDS but As I look at it I'm wondering if I set the grates in the wrong spot. I have a flat lid, my first grate is at 4" and the second at 11". My thoughts were to use the top grate for ribs, chicken thighs/drums, steaks, fatties and then use the second grate for brisquet, pork butts, chickens/turkeys.

2014年1月17日 · My UDS was ALMOST set it and forget it prior to using the ATC. The ATC gives me confidence that I can leave it unattended for an extended amount of time without stressing out over temp control. Yeah, I know the purist are cringing. :heh: For my first cook I closed all other vents and connected the blower fan to one of the three vents behind a ...

2011年10月24日 · You have a good question here and I will follow this post myself. I finally bought all of the parts to complete my 1st UDS and I forgot to buy Primer. One more trip back to the store. I suggest that you use a primer too but it really depends on how nice of a paint job you want to achieve.

2014年1月4日 · I have a UDS that does not maintain temps very well either, and I know I have a few problems with it. Something you may consider looking at in the future, so I'll lay out my problems as I see them. I used 1" pipe nipples in three locations around the bottom. Each has a ball valve to control air.

2011年11月24日 · I've got a 55 gallon UDS- I was so happy that a weber dome fit the drum exactly. I could finally put a 2nd grate and double my grate space. I did 4 briskets one time...never did it again. The lower grate will run hotter and you might find yourself wanting to rotate grates a time or 2 during a long cook- or just to wrap.

2009年1月12日 · A UDS is pretty much the same as a BDS only a LOT cheaper! You can build your own UDS for a few bucks...or you can purchase the BDS for a few HUNDRED bucks...the choice is yours exclusively! But...to answer your question …
