The ugly drum smoker is the open secret of competition BBQ — simple to run, rock-steady on temperature, and mobile enough to roll wherever the cook takes you. Our handcrafted UDS delivers competition results in your own backyard.

Drum smokers are a favourite of competition BBQ teams for good reason — they're easy to use, produce consistently outstanding results, and cost a fraction of what other serious smokers run. They're portable too, which is exactly why you'll spot them at competitions across the country.
From simple setup and effortless mobility to consistent temps and that deep, clean meat-smoking flavour, the drum smoker is the perfect medium-sized build for at-home grillers and weekend pitmasters. Hand-built in Quispamsis from heavy-gauge steel, every R&R drum is dialled in before it leaves the shop.
Four reasons competition teams and backyard cooks keep coming back to the UDS.
Lock in a steady low-and-slow burn that holds for hours with minimal babysitting.
Caster wheels and a tidy footprint mean it rolls to the tailgate, the comp, or the deck.
Even heat and clean smoke deliver competition-grade brisket, ribs and pork — every cook.
Serious capability at a fraction of the price of a big offset or tank build.

Every R&R drum ships ready to cook, with the hardware that makes a UDS run like a champ. Pick your finish and we'll build it to suit.

Our flagship UDS pairs heavy-gauge steel with the full competition outfitting — charcoal basket, diffuser plate, caster wheels and your choice of finish. It's the perfect medium-sized smoker for at-home pitmasters who want comp-level results without the fuss.
