Great how-to Norco. The only way you could improve on that is to show up at my house.

Thanks for you setup info Mike .. I spied your pits over at the Brethren .. I cant believe that thread .... Just wish I could search without handing out cash .. Evil or Very Mad

I do have a couple questions ... ( Imagine that )

Is high heat needed ?? Or can I just give them some glossy tremclad ? I'm guessing High Heat is needed for the higher temp cooks ??

I guess it depends on the drum , but did you have do cut the a couple inches off of your kettle to make the kettle lid fit ??

If a guy was to use a flat top lid would you recommend a 2" exhaust pipe or just a few holes drilled into the lid ??

Thant should do for now ... Cool

I used 600 degree enamel spray paint which is not the high heat stuff most use. I'm never going over 350 (at least on purpose) so I figured it was worth the gamble.

My lit fit but only after I cut off the rolled edge. My drum was a closed top anyway. I took extra care to sand the edge smooth with a ginder, then a belt sander and finally some hand sanding. My next two are going to use a knockoff kettle for the lid and I will probably have to cut the top off the BBQ to act as an adapter.

If the lid has the bung hole already in it a piece of pipe screwed in seems the easiest and nicest looking. I may yet build a flat lid UDS and what exhaust I use will depend on the drum. (no bung = 1/2" holes)

As a side note you can search any site using Google with the right syntax.

site:www.bbq-brethren.com UDS

Will search the brethren site and return only UDS hits. Other boolean terms can be used as well.

site:www.bbq-brethren.com UDS -fatty +build +lid +exhaust

Will return all UDS hits on Brethren site with mention of build, lid and exhaust but will leave off all entries with reference to a fatty.

My Google-foo is strong.
