Minion Method

[RonH]

Could somebody explain this to me ? And when you build your fire for your USD do you do it in the barrel or out side and the put it in the drum ? If you can't tell I'm really confused about all this stuff

Here's the Minion method:

I've been using this method before I knew there was a name for it Someone else will have to answer the UDS question.

I too was using this same type of method long before it got an official name and it works great in the UDS as well...

I pile the coals and wood chunks in my coal basket and lower it in the UDS. I then either start the coals with a weed burner or start a number of coals in a charcoal chimney until they are ashed over and then dump them into the basket...

Either way works.

Good Q'n to ya!
