    First fire in my new UDS

    I put two fatties inside my new UDS for it's inaugural fire. It's been holding at 238* for about 1 1/2 hours with the ball valve 1/3 open. This thing is amazing. Check out that TBS. I'll post pics of the fatties when they're done. I was too rushed to take them from the start.
