This is my version of an Ugly Drum Smoker (UDS). There are a few different ways of making them, I based mine off a company in the States called Hunsaker. The UDS is usually used with the original drum lid, but the lid on mine got warped when the paint was burned off. I am using the lid from my Weber 22" kettle for the moment. If I decide that I prefer to use the UDS over the Weber for some of the cooks that I do, I'll make a new lid.
The air inlet is controlled by an adjustable vent in the bottom of the drum.
The charcoal is contained in a basket that sits on the bottom of the drum.
A deflector plate is placed on top of the charcoal basket to prevent direct heat onto the meat being cooked, and to also impart a vortex on the airflow to get more evenly distributed heat within the drum.
I have the option of hanging meat from this accessory.
Or laying the meat on a grill grate.
I brought the temperature gauge from Amazon, it is large enough that I can see it on the CCTV in my office. However, I typically use a digital thermometer connected to the internet to monitor the internal drum and meat temps.
I have a 22" and 26" Weber kettles, a 3 burner Weber gas grill and a small vertical reverse flow cabinet smoker. Overall, I am pretty happy with the UDS, and it probably will become my main low and slow cooker.
Very nice, and technical set up, Barto, cheers for the rundown.
Delisherous.
Even Edweena couldn't resist wolfing one down once meself and Edith were in caveman/woman coma heaven.
Which of course is the highest compliment.
I spy with my little eye, something beginning with Delisherous.
A few very minor adjustments for number 4 next week.

Victors write the history books.
Unfortunately emus are, as of yet, unable to write.
Was at a market with plenty of food vans yesterday and admired these set ups.
Roast Chicken
Pork - made into pulled pork buns and ribs. I had some and it was seriously delicious.
Large set up
Are you in the US? Usually you only find setups like that in places like Texas.
I'm just thinking if Gunther would notice or not.
Fok this shit, I'm thinking of doing a pineapple juice BBQ sauce pulled pork speciale now.
Sear n seal a big ol' butt, into an oven pot of the bbq sauce and pineapple juice then bbq top down for 2 hours a pound.
Had a double exercise day with a gym sesh in the afternoon so decided to test out some wings in Ol' Blackie while we did the home gym.
Edith marinaded. BBQ sauce, soy sauce, honey, and salt I believe, whilst I built.
Coal Henge.
I should probably clean out all the ash properly, rather than the half-arsed job I've been doing after every half a dozen burns or so. But ash has never hurt nobodae.
We were doing 6 set of traps, biceps, abs, lats, so came out after ever set to turn and rearrange.
Defo not the ideal way to BBQ.
A few minor adjustments to make re: timing/turning/placement. Will be adjusted for next time. Will defo be doing them again soon.
Very very tasty as a smokey post gym hit of protein.
There's a good doco about the volly that erupted in New Zealand a few years ago, told by the people that were on the island at the time, on daytrips. It's..... well, Netflix explains it.

The general gist, is that you don't want to be trapped at the bottom of a fokin' volcano when it erupts unless you enjoy being cooked alive.Survivors' and rescuers' accounts and minute-by-minute footage fuel this gripping documentary about the deadly 2019 volcanic eruption in New Zealand.
Some yellow curry n coconut marinaded protein while doing 1 hour upperbody gym sesh.
