  • My UDS Build

    Here is the UDS I made or like some folks on here said BADS hehehe. I used a open head drum and turned it upside down and cut the bottom out. I used the open head cover for the bottom and built my fire basket on the cover I then put the tube over the basket when the fire is started and attach the cover ring to hold it together. It makes cleaning it easy and also does away with the catch pan for thge basket. I also use a weber cover for the top and flamed her after seasoning and also added a BBQ Guru DigiQ Temp control.

                  Very cool build, TBD.

                  Like the idea of flipping it over and the removable bottom, awesome paint job, and cool hangers off the side, and great idea on the handle and build for your basket.

                    Thanks WALLE, I wanted it to be easy to clean out coals and ash. Also I wanted an eye catcher at tailgating events and when having folks over for BBQ and Beer. I am building a 30 gal version for when we go camping or to Pow Wows.
