I am just a few steps closer to my uds. I am so happy. I drilled my holes and burned the paint yesterday. I was worried sick about the orange paint not coming off but it flakes nicely. I will know more about the burn off tomorrow when I dump the ashes. I have to find a good place to dump them because I used about 8 pallets for fire wood, so that means I have 8 pallets worth of nails and staples. I cant wait to make my fire basket this weekend. one question though. do you need to season the uds more than once?

How's the project coming along?

had crappy weather down here for the past two weeks. starting again this sat.

Almost finished. I made the fire basket, installed temp gauge, forgot handles and that's about it. Will have to wait til next payday to paint it. I have to burn off the lid, but I will hit it with the rosebud at work tomorrow. need to finish it tomorrow so I can use it at the men's cook off at. Church Sun.

You get it ready for church?

Yes. Did my first cook last night. Check out chillin and grillin for the details
