I have a UDS now

Post by Smokeone » January 28th, 2012, 8:57 pm

Well all I am the proud owner of a UDS! I am finally catching up to the times, and getting away from my POS!

Thanks to Frank and DC, I have a mostly finished UDS. All that is left is to sand, paint and season.

With their guidance and help, i stood around and watched while they built it! :D

All BS aside these guys were great and helped me alot. They were patient and helped me build. :headwall: Heck they even let me weld, ok they let me burn some holes with the welder. :hissy: :welder:

Sorry no pics yet, but i will get some when i paint!

Once again THANKS Guys! :beer:

I got the thermo Installed and got the UDS seasoned up today! (note: New thermometer, has to go back it is off about 80 degrees)
Put about 10 lbs of Royal oak lump in the basket with some apple and paecan chips, and lit that with a chimney full of RO lump.
Image

Got it up to 375 and kept it around there for 3 hours.
Image

Image

After 3 hours, i backed the temp down and put some thighs on
Image

After about 2 hours thighs come off. My they are lookin good, if I can say so.
Image
Image

I have to say that controlling temp is relatively easy, almost set it and forget it. I just have to learn to leave it alone!

Glad Frank and DC talked me into this! Thanks guys! It is great! \m/

Looks great! I'm still sad about the crooked air inlet tho... DOH!
anyway, I really like the double decker rack we built and i think you will be real happy with it for catching drippings or a waterpan. I see a pink UDS in your future tho for your wife LOL :bigfoot:
BTW, the thermo on the front should be calibrate-able

usually the thermo will have a nut or a place to grab it with pliers on the back side then you turn the housing the direction needed to adjust the needle.
