    Man big Lew,I luv it. I luv it because it's yours, it's different from everyone else. I can relate to the extra long screws,the exhaust lid and the ash pan. Usin what you have and making it work,also taking household items and using them in the garage...😂😂😂. Good job...👍. I wanna get started on another 1,but wanna learn how to weld 1st. Thx again...

    • @BigLewBBQ
      @BigLewBBQ  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      In 1984-1985, I made a "C" in a high school welding class. I haven't welded since. I regret it now. I too would like to learn to weld.

      BIG STEVE'S SMOKEM & CHOKEM BBQ Thanks. Up until my eye surgery in July 2018 I was near sited. My excuse for the “C” grade to my parents was that my glasses would fog up under the welding helmet and I couldn’t see. The next school year I had contact lenses.

    You done good using up some valuable time off. It's ALIVE ~!~! I like the way you made your meat hanger. Yea, go ahead and spring for that new charcoal basket. Like the new intake slide vent. Can't wait to see those ribs. Be safe and keep away from Corona.

    • @BigLewBBQ
      @BigLewBBQ  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Phil N Florence I’m going to get a fabricated basket. This one that I made three years ago was made from expanded metal that used to be the cooking grate I had on a cinder block barbecue pit that I made in 2006 and used until I moved in 2014. It’s got week spots. But it still works for now.

      Bruce West I originally built this three years for about $165 that included 30 bucks for the drum. I made it with all hardware store parts and stuff I already had around the house and in my shed.
      I wish I had ordered this slide vent at the time. It would have been cheaper than the hardware store plumbing parts that I had previously used for the intake.
      UDS Parts has kits that start as low as $85. Hind site is 20/20 if I was starting over from scratch I would order the kit.

      BBQ PIT DOG The rib hanger works well. I’m glad my UDS is “Back in Black”. I saw my rusty drum and I wanted to be black, no colors anymore I wanted it to be black, I wanted to see it painted, painted, painted black. So I had to “Paint It Black”.
      I had referenced both of those song in the section where I painted it. But alas I cut the sequence for time this video was quite long enough. The other Stones and AC/DC references would have made more sense if I hadn’t of cut the paint sequence.

    Hey Big Lew. Thank you for the information. It's very helpful. I'm planning on ordering the side vent for my UDS. I built it last year, and I installed the two long pipes as well. It works good, but I think it will be better with the large sliding vent. I did make a mistake last year. Since I live in Northern Illinois (originally from the Rio Grande Valley), we get a lot of snow in the winter, and I messed up and didn't season my ugly beast. So I just finished removing the built up rust, and it looks more like a beautiful ugly smoker. I also just gave it an inside bath with canola oil and fired it up to season, but one thing I don't know is, do I need to season it before every smoke? Muchas gracias por toda la informacion. By the way, I like the ¿Como están USD? - Jose Nieto

      Robert Harris No, not at all I had this UDS prior to getting my BHC. Now that it has been announced that BHC has purchased by PBC I’ll probably use it on camera more. I didn’t use it much on camera in 2019 because Barrel House seemed to be in limbo. I used it for home cooks though.
