Sorry, not garage related, but hey we are men and love grills right? First true smoker, but have 4 grills 
Can you say homemade UDS, maybe on roids?
Craigs find, women going through divorce. I had literally printed out my material list to build a UDS then I found this. Its just like a custom built UDS for the most part. All the steel was bought brand new less than 6 months ago, built, painted, but used a lot. Husband has built 10 or so of these for friends that use them in competitions. Top is 3/16" steel, "barrel" is 12 gauge steel rolled and welded. Intake/Exhaust vents are 3/16" as well. All brackets for grates and charcoal tray welded inside.
Sliding rail for charcoal basket with a door to access. Door seals nice. has 2 racks and a water pan. Water pan wouldnt be needed for top rack cooking only but the second rack is about 19" away from coals. Exhaust cap is 3/16" steel which twist/screws in/out to adjust. Two intakes on the bottom are 3/16" with a lever to adjust.
So after figuring what I would need for my UDS, I anticipated between $150-$175 decked out with weber lid, 2 new weber grates, weber charcoal tray and custom basket, hardware, painted and all. What do you think this was worth, to see if I dun good or fair, or got hosed. Granted I havent cooked on it yet, but sure like the way it all looks. 2 very new grates and water pan with it. I did not have a cover so has weather a bit, very light surface rust, little sand and paint be like new again. She will easily hold 4 or 5 shoulders, even the lady I bought from said they have done 4 on it perfectly a couple of months ago.
I am smokin some *** this weekend
