That is a possibility.

Hey,

I got mine up an running as well! I put a basic fattie on last night and within 3 hours pulled it off and sampled. The wife was amazed, and now after tasting it, she asks what are you doing next with a gleeful expression.

I'll post pics later. Mine truly puts the UGLY in UDS.

That weber kettle lid was a bomb of sorts from Smokin Gator, THANK YOU once again :ss

I plan to make a hole for a 12" Turkey fryer thermometer, but for now my probe model through one of the exhaust holes works well. Also in the future I may do another grate to take advantage of the kettle lid.

When I was a kid, I would NEVER let my mother pass a turtle on the road, and bless her heart,
she would always pull over for me.
Now I am a man, and I NEVER EVER pass a grill lid that has flown out of somebody's truck, LOL.
Getting one that big is like finding a tortoise!

Oh I will, when done.....it just needs a couple more things, mainly a charcoal basket. I'm just waiting on the 48" x 48" expanded metal I ordered from Amazon. I should get that tomorrow. Then I'll season the UDS before my first cook.
You'll probably be able to see it in action if you happen to stop by at Park Drive Smokehouse this Sat. :D

It's easy for Brent, he finds them all the time on the side of I-95....Something about people moving to FLA
not securing the contents of their truck beds. :r

i LOVE smoker threads!! I've had a few setups in my time. Here's a big freezer I converted:

and some of the bacon to come out of it that time:

This is my go-to setup right now:

I can do hot & cold smokes with this arrangement.
