My 2 day project

[fedex]

In the last 5 years I've probably made over 30 UDS selling them for $200+ a pop all by word of mouth.  Some of you may think I'm Satan for what your going to see.  All the kettles I've used have been either free or under $20.00.  For the most part the kettles are all beat up crap but I think of them as donors.  They still live on with a new purpose.  This newborn is going to a good home in Yorba Linda.  BTW,  It wasn't Red to start with.




This is a first for me.  A Smokey Joe Ash Basket.  Last night I did a test run.  It ran at 275 for 6 hours until I shut it down.  The Smokey Joe was a freebie with no lid.

Satan? For spreading the joy of BBQ? Hardly! If I wasn't so happy with my WSM's I'm sure I'd have a UDS. Had I learned about them before I got my WSM I'd probably have one.

FedEx...

Don't worry you're not the only one who's made one.  This is my mini-version....

Sax, why is your handle so tall?

Sax, why is your handle so tall?

It's a standard SJ handle.  Must be the angle of the photo..

FedEx That's great !!!!

Some coin for the materials, you get some for your time & effort, the kettles (or parts of) get to live on & folks get into the smoking game for pretty reasonable......good job !!!

My angle is learning folks up on their standard kettle, as best as I know how to pass the info along, same deal, different approach.....

If you get a chance, can you do a write up of how you made it and the materials involved? I will build one of these eventually.
