Build an Ugly Drum Smoker (UDS) – Part 1

In this episode we begin an Ugly Drum Smoker (UDS) project. I’m investing some serious time and money in this build, as I expect to own and use this smoker for years to come. Parts and cost lists will be posted and linked to selfsufficientpath.com once the project is completed.

We’re also using and reviewing a new step drill bit made by Neiko in this episode.
