This is my Big Poppa UDS modded to use charcoal, or straight wood splits.
Under the dome is a grill that swivels 360 degrees, although, this would never be necessary.
Grill exposed. Wood is loaded through the top. I thought of adding a door to the barrel side, but see now, that would be unnecessary.
Got oak?

Lump, about 1/3 full.
It is ON. Smells like a campfire. None of that smoldering charcoal odor.
Fire roasting some home grown Hatch, Big Jim, and heritage 6-4 chiles.
Blistering. Temp was between 350-400F. Smooth sailing.
Pork, beef tongue stuffed, roasted poblanos, again.
Quick cook. Plated.
Burp...
"007" swivel grate mod was created by Fwismoker on the BBQ Brethren forum All credit to him for getting me a prototype. Metal fab work by another brethren, dwfisk. Apparently, plans will be available to anyone wanting to give this a go. I'm selling nothing. Just showing off a new bbq concept. With a rotisserie, it's hard to beat, if you are partial to wood fires for cooking. A cool concept, I think, that has a lot of unexplored possibilities. Fwis cooked banana bread cupcakes on it yesterday. I'm looking forward to a longer cook this upcoming weekend.
Edit: I forgot to mention all cooking was done with the dome-lid on. Just took it off for photos. Also, there is an expanded metal tray that attaches under the grill, and clears the top of the barrel. Can be used for side dishes. Once I get a roti in place, I'll have several cooking zones that can be used simultaneously.
