    Why are my smoked turkeys turning black and cooking really fast???

    I cooked 3 turkeys this year; one to test out, one to sell, and one for turkey day. The test bird and the one for turkey day I brined and used Simply Marvelous cherry rub and sprayed the skin with Pam Olive Oil, the one I sold I brined, used Jeff's rub and DIDNT spray the skin. All three I used...

    BBQ sauce question

    So Im trying to work up a good fruit-based bbq sauce, and Im just about there, but Im running into one "small" problem. Im using a lot of jelly in this sauce, and when it cools the jelly wants to try and coagulate again. Does anyone know of anything I can use to keep that from happening? I would...

    First brisket question

    Yeah, yeah...I know. Im usually a one man show, and I get all wrapped up in what Im doing that I forget to take photos. I really do mean to take pictures, but it just never works out that way. And yes, I was kinda wondering if the injection had something to do with it. I wasn't that thrilled...

    First brisket question

    After spending the past 9 months mastering my UDS with countless racks of ribs and pork butts, I decided I was ready for a whole packer. I injected with a beef base injection, rubbed with a rub I bought at Academy Sports, and cooked over Kingsford blue and cherry for 8 hours @ 250. Everything...

    UDS temp control & pitmaster iq110

    So I've completed a few cooks on my UDS, and first off I love using this thing, it's so much easier than the crap-ass chargriller smokin pro I cut my teeth on. I only have a couple of issues/questions.  First off, for my intakes I cut in 3 ea 3/4" pipe nipples, two capped and one with a ball...

    My first UDS

    All done. Test burn today, two racks of ribs tomorrow. The water pan idea worked well, both top and bottom grates were within a couple degrees of each other. And the temp control is insane, I was actually able to go inside and relax a while.

    My first UDS

    Here are a couple pics of the basket I built today. 24x24 sheet of 3/4" expanded metal, and a bunch of 1/2" stainless steel nuts, bolts, and washers. Did a good burn out of the new barrel today, next weekend is a test run, and going to run ribs and a fatty.

    Ummm...my basket is too big....

    Correct. If it were 24" from the top of the basket, there's no way you would be able to build a UDS with one barrel.

    My first UDS

    Tonight I made a little progress, I bought the expanded metal to make my coal basket, and got my pipe nipples put in. I bought 3/4" x 3" nipples, and have them held in place with conduit nuts on each side of the wall. They seem to be holding tight, but I still think Im going to put a bead of...

    How does it hook to the pipe nipple? I may go this route with my UDS instead of a Guru.

    Ummm...my basket is too big....

    The basket Im making for my UDS this weekend is going to be 14"x14"x5" high, with the diagonal of my box being 19" across. Im okay for fitting in the barrel. Next check the volume, which comes out to about a half cubic foot of capacity, which is about a bag of charcoal, which is plenty to cook...

    First brisket a success - but a little dry.

    Back last summer when I was learning how to smoke and trying to hammer out my procedure, my dad was stedfast on telling me to keep it foiled all the way up til the last hour of the cook, which made ZERO sense to me. Gladly I didnt listen to him, because I think otherwise I wouldnt have had any...

    My first UDS

    Here are a couple photos that I took of my progress today with the new barrel. Next weekend I will get the iron pipe, ball valve, and expanded metal to make the charcoal basket. I also still need to find some sheet metal flashing to make a collar for a lid to sit on. Then I should be ready for a...
