I built 3 in 2010. Took 6 place ribs at a KCBS event in Wildwood NJ in 2012 using one. People always stopped by our area to check them out. Lots of “bigger” smokers at those events. The UDS works grate. And quess what - all Weber grates used. Just used bolts on the sides. And a home made firebox. Pizza pan on top to hold a water pan.Since I moved I have been using a WSM 18” they work the same.Sent from my iPhone using Weber Kettle Club
I like it, nice refurb!Now that you've seasoned your UDS. What's your first cook going to be?
