Smokin Monkey Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 UDS Smoker Build Barrel of EBay, paid £11.00. NOTE. If you are planing on hinging the lid, do not buy a barrel with a ridge just below the lid, as this is exactly where the hinge is mounted. Used masking tape down the side to mark out position of Shelfs. Drilled shelf support holes Drilled lid to take vent. Vent is a Stainlees Steel fitting donated by a friend, fitted a butterfly valve inside. Had some Shelfs left from a Pit Boss Kamado so fitted them. Utensil rack added. Drum drilled and fan Adaptor fitted for a Q Senior controller Drum stripped of fittings and sandblasted. Stainless Steel bolts fitted for shelf supports. Stainless Steel disc cut to act as a heat deflector. Shelfs fitted to supports. Drum painted with heat resistance paint and graphics added. In The Dog House and ready to roll some smoke! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did u get that Think it was from Pound Shop or something similar. It was straight. Offered it up to the drum and marked one of the holes, drill d it and bolted it. Then bent it around the drum, marked the other hole drilled and bolted. Cost a couple of pounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabs Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Fantastic build! Just a tip on the diffuser, if you add some holes to it, it'll help flavour the food and prevent fat accumulating/pooling during cooking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) @Smokin Monkey @Tabs Did you have the plate cut for you, or did you manage to buy a disc that big??? I remember now, I was taken with the fan you had fitted... Edited September 5, 2018 by Icefever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 @Icefever, I cut mine from some Stainless Steel I had, it’s only 1.5mm thick, but it works OK. @Tabs, what and where did you get the ash catcher plate from?

Smokin Monkey Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 With a grinder. I have got a Plasma Cutter, but never really got on with it. Should practice a bit more with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabs Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Ash catcher was from Clas Ohslon, 52cm jobbie and costs a whole £7.99! https://m.clasohlson.com/uk/Metal-Tray/40-7580-1 Diffuser plate was just a steel pizza pan from ebay, rim wizzed off with a angle grinder and then hole pattern made with a hope drill using various sizes. My OCD took over hence the crop circle like design ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabs Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Just realised I've not posted a picture of the UDS I did. You can just make out the scorched remains of the diffuser plate mentioned in one of my previous posts. Still get used now and then 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
