My ugly drum smoker was completed weeks ago. However, im just now getting around to burning her out. It really holds the temperature well. I want to see how long of a burn I can get out of 1/3 bag of coal and to also see how well it holds the temperature. So far, so good. I decided to use a digital bluetooth thermometer instead of a manual thermometer. I set it up to be interchangeable as well. I added 5 inch caster wheels instead of the standard 2 inch wheels. It gives it a more bold look along with the solid black, high heat, powder coated paint. Im looking forward to many good cooks on this bad boi. I plan to build out 3 more to have 4 total. I will mainly use all 4 when im competing so that I'll have one for each protein. I need to give her a name π€π€?
