Hello from another Orlando Smoker Addict

Post by Fishless Mickey » May 15th, 2014, 10:25 am

How's it going? My name is Mike Aka Fishless Mickey to my friends. I have been cruising around the site for a little while and I am very impressed. I have made a few smokers of my own. I definitely prefer the UDS style of smoking. Rodcrafter is a good friend of mine. Pretty soon I will be making a UDS style of smoker with a center firebox under a horizontal cylindrical CC (a 20 gallon water tank). I haven't seen anything quite like that on here. I have seen lots of reverse flow center feed smokers. I guess maybe it's a similar thing. I am open-minded and would love to receive any advice or tips. Thanks in advance for any help. I'm going to try to attach a picture of my larger UDS. It is kinda similar to the Frankenqube.

Thanks! Glad to be signed up and not just lurking around. :lurkblast: I'm starting on the new smoker tomorrow. It's going to be Mom's belated Mother's Day gift. I'll try to remember to take pics.

I posted a new topic in the Other Smoker/grill designs area. The subject is T-Shaped UDS Style Smoker/Charcoal grill. Any input or suggestions will be gladly accepted.
