For the past year I’ve read a number of forum posts and blog posts from many people that use BBQ Smokers, one particular topic stood out, building their own smoker. \u00a0Although I’ve been very happy with the side box smoker that I purchased over a year ago, I’ve wanted to go to the next level… \u00a0And that next level is building my own Ugly Drum Smoker, or UDS for short. \u00a0I started with a brand new unlined 55 gallon drum and followed the steps and directions that seemed to fit my needs the most. \u00a0I haven’t actually smoked with it yet but I wanted to introduce you all to my new smoker. \u00a0It still needs to be burned out, wire brushed, and painted on the outside, but for the most part it’s ready for smoking!<\/p>\n

I was very fortunate to have a neighbor that has a friend that welds, I promised both of them a fair share of the first meat I smoke for their help! \u00a0I think that is a fair trade. \u00a0Have you ever made your own grill or smoker? \u00a0How did you do it?<\/p>\n
