Kettle Mod Assisting UDS Smoker Driven by Vacuum

[Ryan Abood]

I built this smoker using a kettle as the heat and smoke source for a UDS. The kettle is stoked and the draft is forced by a vacuum. The UDS has a water chamber where the smoke is filtered before entering the cooking chamber. We named it the Bar-B-Bong (Patent Pending). This smoker was a novelty but turned out some super moist, never too smokey meat. This was the first generation of these type of bbq's I have built.
