Hello all,
I just ordered my BPS kit and I get my new unlined drum on Monday. I can't wait to put it all together and get something smoked.
I do have one question concerning the air inlets. I have seen home made UDSs with the air inlet made from gas pipe running vertically to the top of the barrel and a ball valve to control the incoming air, thereby controlling the temperature. The main reason I am considering this mod over the kits sliding inlet vents is because of the ease in adjusting without having to bend over (yes lazy, but also old).
So, does it change the operation of the smoker? Is it harder to regulate temperature? Does it draw in enough air?
Thanks in advance,
Popeye707
