Beautiful!

I only see one problem...
How can you call this work of art a UDS? Shocked

It's not a drum.
It's the opposite of ugly!

It needs a new category!
I suggest PBS! (Pretty Barrel Smoker)

What do you think? Cool

CB,
Surfing old entries and found this. Truly brilliant. Much nicer looking than a BGE. How have the cooks gone when you've used it?

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Bunqui This barrel has become one of my favs for cooking in,it simply works great,just have to rehydrate it every couple cooks,I fill it with water and let it sit 2 days and its all swollen up and ready to go. Very Happy

Like a wooden boat, you don't want it to dry out!
It's art that cooks!

CB,
That is just awsome! You just never know what you will see here on the Somke Ring! That is just too cool looking. Cool

I don't know how I missed it earlier.
I drive by oak drums like that everyday at an antique shop. I might just have to see what they want for one. Very Happy
