:woohoo:
Got my cheap-ish horizontal smoker assembled and modded up. Sealed all the air holes with fire-rated sealant. I'll post better pix when I do the first run! I got the DEAL on this thing too. Got it on sale, plus used a coupon, plus got a partial refund due to a minor ding from shipping. A steal! For now, it's just what I need. I may mod it out a little more later (smokestack to grate, charcoal basket, fire-tape the lids, etc.) but want to see how it performs first.

very very nice:onfire:

cant wait for the Q pics

looks like your cooker already has a good thermometer on it.. you may not have to do that mod
 
Sweet, I have one just like it that I never got to use very much. Have fun man. I totally had the same ideas to seal it up too. Good job.
 
Yup, I am very happy with the quality for the price. It may be awhile before que pix, but they will be coming!
 
I want to build one, any suggetsions, tips ? Here in OZ they are rare and expensive, so I figure I will make one and you guys could help !
THP you sound like you know your stuff !

Looks great THP......Can't wait for the pics.

I'm getting all my gear together to build a UDS.......

I just got a complete 'as new' webber kettle BBQ for $20 and all the parts will be getting used on the 44 gallon drum I got from work....

I still have to burn out the drum!!!!!! and design a fire basket???????

But i'm getting there.....

good for you THP....sounds like you are ready to rumble in some throwdowns...
 
This is not my Fu on the Que, but I had to season the grill, as in, spray it with cooking oil and fire it up, so I couldn't let those coals go to waste, so I did some killer BBQ wings and corn.

Wings: Rubbed with VooDoo Ash, sauced at the end with Grumpy's Black Label.
Corn: Oil and VooDoo Ash.

Oh, by the way, very impressed by the grill. Barely any smoke leakage when closed, most all comes from the chimney. Score!

Great looking smoker! I have spent a lot of time one one like that when I lived in Texas. Only difference was the one I was using had an extra vertical smoker attached to it.
 
Thanks! I enjoyed breaking it in.
