My No Thrills UDS Build is Complete!

Postby WVFD710 » Sun Aug 12, 2012 4:51 pm

Well, almost....it's smoking (seasoning) right now so I can cook next weekend! I went with a $3 pizza pan from WalMart and a turkey fryer basket for my charcoal and ash catcher. Two Weber 22.5" grates and the flat/sealed top for my lid until I find a dome lid. She's gloss black and needs another coat, but the West Texas wind wasn't cooperating with me today for paint. Here's a few pictures:

Welcome aboard WVFD710.
Looking good. Gotta love a UDS.
I see one more thing you need to add. That's a chimney. I used 2" x 6"
It will give you a better draft.
I got mine cut and threaded on both ends, so that I just screw a cap on it when I'm done.
Chokes out the fire and keeps the critters out.

I do need an exhaust stack....I'll figure out something for it soon. With all three intakes open, she sits at about 325F steady. 4lbs of charcoal to start at about 4:45, and she is still going strong! I'm ready to hit the sack, so may have to choke her off.
