    Finally got a barrel - so no excuses

    Now I'll need to name her..... or maybe I'll wait until she's painted and not quite such a munter (Scots word for a facially challenged female).

    UDS Paint

    Ah right - I didn't know Wally World = Wal Mart, they own Asda (a super market chain) over here but they don't really do hardware etc. One thing I noticed they have started doing is bone in pork shoulder - so one of them will be on the UDS soon.

    Semi successful - too many peaks & troughs in the temp - 320F at one point - so the wings & belly were a bit over done - but very tasty. Just need some practice & to move the UDS from its current position - which serves as a wind tunnel.

    UDS Paint

    Powder coat would be cool - but aint gonna happen - don't know anywhere near me that'll do it. Got a friend who paints cars and bikes though - so once I've fed him I can ask for a favour......

    Finally got a barrel - so no excuses

    Apologies for being slow with the Q-View - got her built & had the seasoning smoke, but been really busy & only now am getting to do a test smoke (chicken wings and pork belly slices). Anyhoo - q-view: Burnout: Burned out & cleaned barrel, garden fire basket off ebay as charcoal basket...

    UDS Paint

    Thanks Lugnutz - that's a good idea - don't think we call it rustoleum over here, but I can probably find the equivalent (we don't have a Wally's World either as  wally is another word for idiot   - but that's us - 2 countries separated by the same language ). Given the weather we get here...

    UDS Paint

    To be honest I'd rather use high temp - but I've spent a bit on the beast already, basic paint to avoid rust for the moment would probably see me out the year, then improvements start next year. Thanks for the advice.

    UDS Paint

    Do you need to use heatproof paint for a UDS? The outside gets hot but not burning hot. Could I get away with normal spraypaint?

    Using an old fuel barrel for uds?

    Engine degreaser then a burnout should clean it fine - certainly the degreaser got mine clean down to nice and shiny metal before the burnout.
