Cheers dirtsailor, I am waiting on delivery of my drum, should be here middle of the week, I have also ordered the digi and analogue thermometer. What I am having difficulty with is the air intakes sourcing them, I know galvanised is a no no for cooking but is the air intakes ok to be galvenised
Some say it's okay. I wouldn't though. I see that black pipe nipples are available in the UK on Amazon. If you're looking locally ask a plumber, there must be black pipe somewhere.
Built 2 UDS last year and they are easy peasy, the best thing I have done in a long while. I built one for cold smoking and the other for hot and they both perform brilliantly
Let me know what info you need and I will point you in the right direction. I did a mass of research and costing's before I started so let me know as there are some pitfalls.
Use 3/4 inch Brass nipples from Screw fix @ 99p each. Use them for the intake and exhaust. You can buy the end caps and locking nuts too.
you can use 1inch too but don't forget to use a 3/4 inch lever valve for one of your intakes as you can then use a BBQ Guru to control temp.
