UDS Build

Postby BigBrizket » Mon Apr 29, 2019 10:05 am

I am thinking of building a UDS for my dad. He is getting close to retirement age and he needs some hobbies.

My question is locating a drum for the build. I have googled the drum and know that it needs to be clean on the inside and fee of that red liner that food grade drums have. But I am not able to find any that are free of this liner. Should I just go with one with the liner and try to burn it out? Or what do some experienced builders recommend doing if I can only find one with a liner?

Are you on Facebook?
If so join Ugly Drum smokers and they can steer you in the right direction for a drum.

. I’ve bought quite a few (as in hundreds) of what would be appropriate barrels from Burbank barrel in deer park, and west Texas drum in Baytown. Burbank is bought out and now is called something else whose name escapes me, but google will still get you there..
