Ugly Drum Smoker Build with Access Door. "The Dark Horse"

Awesome UDS Build for my Friend Aaron Webb.
Parts From UDSParts.com The Access door was easy to install and I will be using this option more often. Gives access to the Firebox, easy access to cooking on the bottom grate and takes the hassle out of cleaning out the bottom of the drum.

[@UglyDrumSmokersTexas]

Joe Johnson awesome news.. thanks for reaching out

[@BigChiefPrinceVision]

Nice . I've been looking for this type of example. To have access to coals and wood like an offset

[@johnkinnane547]

G’day what a beautifully built UDS, it is the best one I have seen and I reckon it would really smoke meat ect, congratulations on a well thought out and great looking smoker. Kind regards John Tasmania Australia

Would buy

[@ScottWinters]

Nice! Curious, do you find the single 2 inch exhaust works better than multiple exhaust holes in the lid?

[@UglyDrumSmokersTexas]

Scott, I used to use pinwheel dampers with 8 3/4 holes. But now I only use the single exhaust, I really like the simplicity of the 2 inch exhaust and keeping the smoke as far off the lid as possibly.

[@johnkelley3924]

Nice smoker, I'm about to build a couple of them, what is the digital temp gauge you are using on top ? I havnt seen any info on them. Thanks
