    My UDS build with stainless steel intake and exhaust

    I used the HF Compact Bender http://www.harborfreight.com/garage-shop/metal-shaping-equipment/compact-bender-38470.html

    Building another UDS FL Gators Style

    Great looking UDS. I think a Cal Bears one would have been better, but that is just me.

    pandemonium, I have not used the UDS yet, as I will be selling this one. The expanded metal has worked good in the past, we will see how it works this time. Also I make the rebar handles myself, thanks

    Thanks everyone for the compliments, still not sure if I will keep this one or not.  I do think it looks good with the stainless steel, and a weber lid fits good so I could go with two racks.

    They had some scrap stainless steel tubing at work, so I thought I would put it to good use. I make mine so I can either hang the meat (tri tip, 1/2 chickens), or use the cooking grid.

    Welding Intakes

    I use a Millermatic DVI mig welder. A Hobart Handler 140, or 180 would also work great. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200306073_200306073
