Hi, guys.
I've never smoked anything before. I love grilling, but haven't ever taken the dive to smoking.
That's all about to change.
I've been reading up on UDS's, and am intrigued. Today, I bought a new unlined 55 gallon drum. And I'll be ordering a BPS drum conversion kit shortly.
My first question concerns the surface temperature of the drum.
I will be smoking on my deck. Do I need to raise the drum off the ground (legs/caster wheels)? If I don't raise it off, will it be hot on the under-side of the drum? Is there any concern about damaging the wood of the deck? (Even more important, any concern for fire???)
Thanks for any input.
Will
