Ugly Drum Smoker Build | How To Rebuild A UDS Smoker | Texas Style Cuisine Chef Johnny

First let me say I have ball valves on the UDS not gate valves. Sorry for the confusion, I guess I was having a senior moment.
Many years ago I built an ugly drum smoker. The UDS was easy to use and made great bbq. I used the ugly drum smoker at cook offs and at the house. We took the UDS many places since it was was easy to transport. The sad thing is that with wear and tear from usage and the beating it took from being transported, it began to break down. Now of course I was not storing my ugly drum smoker in a dry place out of the weather. It sat out in the sand where the sun a rain could beat down on it. So to say the least my ugly drum smoker on lasted me about six years. Now considering that it only cost me about $125 to build it, that's not to bad. The UDS basically cost $20 a year. Now after it was beyond repair, I just let it sit. This sitting in the weather continued to break down this excellent ugly drum smoker that my son and I had built. But, knowing that it had good parts on it I never threw it away, in hopes of someday I would show y'all how to rebuild this UDS and returning it to its glory. Well this last spring break we took time to rebuild this great old smoker that we had built many years before. I hope you enjoy watching my son and I rebuilding our UDS Smoker and will use the simple instructions to build your own.
