    Turkey in a UDS new build question

    If you are doing one turkey on the bottom rack with the top rack removed you will be fine.

    grinding the lid on my 55 gallon drum

    I did the same thing with my smoker, but didn't reuse the lid. I now use the weber top as the lid. This will also give a little breathing room for the top rack.

    UDS burn time-What Should I Expect??

    That's a pretty good size basket.  I smoked a brisket last weekend and the temp held for a solid 12hrs until I put it out by shutting the values down.  My basket is only 8,5" high, so I would expect you could get an easy 16hrs without blinking an eye--probably longer.  That sounds ridiculous...

    Brisket #1 - A Chronicle.

    In simple, and you won't like my answer, the beauty of smoking is you can do whatever you want.  The best way to learn is through trial and error.

    How hot do they get

    I was a little unsure about putting mine on my deck, so I just use a few 16x16" pavers and set them on top, off the side of the deck in the dirt.  I wouldn't trust putting it on top without something underneath.

    Did Someone Say UDS

    As the others said, welcome to the club!  Nothing but fun and a little beer mixed in.

    want to build a uds

    Yeah, if you just layer the wood throughout the basket with coals, you will be fine for a long smoke. These things are gods gift to smoking!

    Want to Buy Smoker

    I had 5 racks of ribs and tips in a pan on last weekend. My UDS was completely full, but everything came out how I wanted it.

    Let the building begin! You won't regret that build.

    Want to Buy Smoker

    I hate to tell you to choose a different option, but after using my UDS for a few months, I can tell you I wish I would have started with that and let it be. You can set it and forget the fire and it has held temps up to 14 hours...no problem. I will disagree with others when they say you have...

    Just another UDS

    the UDS is, in my opinion, the best way to smoke. I may be a little bias, but it sure makes the job easy.
