At A Touch of Smoke, we’re passionate about the craft of barbecue and the pride that comes with building something by hand. What started as a backyard hobby quickly turned into a mission to connect fellow BBQ lovers with trusted resources for building and mastering DIY smoker drums, also known as UDS (Ugly Drum Smokers), discovering quality gear, and learning the techniques that bring out the best in low and slow cooking.

We believe that great barbecue isn’t about flashy gadgets or gimmicks. It’s about patience, skill, and having the right tools. That includes knowledge. Whether you’re a seasoned pitmaster or just starting your first build, we’re here to offer straightforward advice, reliable products, and a growing community of makers and smokers who care about doing it right.

Built by real people who love real barbecue. No fluff, just fire.
