I have never done lamb before and I was wondering what cut, temps, rub, wood and pull temp does everyone recommend? Thanks for you help in advance. I am hoping to try some lamb this...

    First Time Smoked Chicken - K.I.S.S. Method (Q-View)

    Haven't been on here in a while, so I figured I would post some chicken I did on Monday. I have never smoked chicken, mainly because I wasn't sure how I would like it and I get a little worried I may serve undercooked chicken. However, after Monday, I will definitely be smoking chicken again...

    UDS Restoration

    Hi all, Long time since I have posted anything, but I hope to get back in the swing of things as the weather gets nicer. To get going again, I need to do some work to the UDS. I know there is some rust on it, which will be easy enough to knock off and repaint; however, the hard part is one of...

    Pork Loin for Tailgate

    Been a while since posting, but been smoking! I smoked a pork butt yesterday evening/early morning, and realized it wasn't nearly as much as I had hoped for. I am not looking to feed everyone, but I want to have enough for the people at my tent. I am short on time and need something to smoke...

    First Spare Ribs on UDS (With Q-View)

    I have been out of the country for the past month or so, and man, did I miss BBQ! When people ask what is American food, BBQ will be one of my first responses. Being away from the grill for a little more than a month, I was itching to get back to smoking. The wife wanted some ribs, and being the...

    Lederman's UDS

    I wanted a new smoker, so I figured I’d build one. So, here it is. I am not the most handy person, or handy at all. However, this wasn’t that bad. It took longer than I’d like, but all the research and part gathering took a while. I am not 100 percent done, I will add some handles, put another...

    Grill heights

    Hey everyone, I have decided to take the plunge. I bought most of the parts and tools, but I was curious about grill height. I am not doing a dome lid and I was thinking two racks and a diffuser plate. My charcoal basket will be about 15" because they only have one length at Lowe's, but I don't...

    Another UDS Barrel Question

    Not having as much disposable income as I'd like, having a COS for two years and reading about all the UDSes on here, I am going to try and build one. I looked on Craigslist and talked to a umber of businesses and I have located a 55 gallon open head steel drum, new, for $56. The kicker is, the...

    Regulating Temperature

    I was curious how yous go about regulating your heat. I guess I will describe my issues and then post some questions, but any answers, suggestions, comments, etc. are welcomed. I am still new to smoking, but have done a few smokes by this time. I always use the Minion method, but I have noticed...

    First Pork Loin (With Q-View)

    Busy with everything else not related to BBQ, I haven't been able to get a low and slow cook going. However, that all changed today. I am still new to smoking, but have done several butts, ribs and some chicken, but never pork loin. I found a pork loin roast on sale at my local market and...

    Advice on New Grill

    I think it is almost time for a new grill. So, I was looking for advice and suggestions on what to get. I am looking for something around $200 that will hold temperature well without any modifications (I am not handy). I also would prefer a charcoal grill, not that I have nothing against...

    SFB Mods - silicone or felt, dryer vent or flashing?

    I have a cheap SFB and it leaks a good bit from the chamber and the SFB, making heat control way more hands on than I would like and it is killing me in charcoal. I have read some mods and I want to seal the chamber more and the SFB using either silicone or some sort of felt and I was wondering...

    Difference in butts?

    Hey, everyone. I have been to a few different stores to check on the prices of meat and I was wondering if there was any difference between Boston butt, Boston Butt pork roast and pork roast or are all of these the same thing? I usually just buy a Boston butt or picnic, since that is how I...

    It's not you, brisket, it's me

    I know this may sound crazy, but I am not a huge fan of brisket. Don't get me wrong, it is good and I will definitely eat it; however, I don't LOVE it like so many others do. Does anyone else feel the same way about brisket or any other foods that many people love, but you just don't get? I...

    Smoking on gas grill?

    First, I apologize if this is in the wrong spot, but I didn't see a forum for gas grills. However, I was wondering if anyone has tried smoking on their gas grill? My birthday is around the corner (2/22) and I want a gas grill because my smoker's grates are too close to the coals and for a 10...

    When to get a new smoker?

    Hey everyone, first post here other than Roll Call... My wife gave me a Char-Broil smoker that uses a SFB. I have not smoked a whole lot on it, and it serves it's purpose (doubles as a grill more often than a smoker). However, it is about two years old now and I was thinking of getting an...
