I call it UDS Squared. Off to get powder coated.
A friend asked me if I could build him a square cooker like a UDS but he wanted a bit more real estate. We decided on 24" square x 34" tall. It is a work in progress planning and designing as I go. Not to bad for 1.5 days of work. I have to judge this weekend so I will be back on it soon.
I needed something to weld some sheet metal.
Bought some steel.
Saturday I cut out the pieces and made up one side panel.
Sunday I finished up the base. I still have the lid and other stuff to do.

Re: I call it UDS Squared. Off to get powder coated.
With no cook-offs and plenty of time I got the cooker finished.
Here are the pics in somewhat order lol.
Welding out sheet metal will test your patience i ended up bracing the lid to keep it from moving.
After I welded on the intakes it was time for wheels and a front foot.
Then I needed a handle so I opted for my signature look that I use on my cookers.
Needed a lid for the exhaust.

Two full grates and one half grate.
Added a fold down work table.
Pic of the lid up in the light.
The diffuser.
I had a basket already built just needed a new lift handle.
Loaded up and headed to get powder coated.
