    Oh okay well that sounds a lot easier than putting another grill grate in.

    I'll have to try that. I wish I built a second rack in my uds...ill have to build another rack so it can catch the drippings.

    I dont understand why someone would mop if spritzing does the same thing, without messing the bark up. Is mopping for liquid that's thicker that couldn't make it through the sprayer of a bottle? I use a lowes cleaning bottle for my sritz

    That's a good point. I didnt even think about that. Mopping and spritz essentially do the same thing too?

    I think my next smoke will be a brisket, ill have to try a broth spritz. Do you prefer a spritz or a mop?

    that sounds good. Iv'e heard of people using apple juice or something along the lines of that, but I feel as if it would make things a little too sweet. The only reason I use apple juice to spritz is the sugar in the juice.

    I'll have to check that boot shop put, the pair I have now are getting pretty worn. Just a cheap pair of Justins boots. I'll be moving to LA here in a few weeks, and they have tons of boot shops here. Yeah I think for the sake of appearance ill not foil, but if I'm making a butt for my family I...

    Well it was at a constant 250 ( on my thermometer ) I think it could've been a dry chamber, I didnt have a water pan and the only moisture was the spritz. Lol she loved it. The bark tasted very good. Had a spicy kick from chili powder and cracked peppercorn.

    Lol thanks, my little girl already learning to grill. Thanks appreciate it. The butt was pretty good, I think a little bit longer on the smoker would've been better. For my first butt i am pleased. I feel as if the bark was a tad bit tough. It was almost like chewing into a piece of jerky.

    So here the butt is at noon And here it is at 1500 ( 3pm ) I haven't pulled it yet, but I am liking the bark on it. 10 pound butt for about 10 hours at 193 degrees. I was going to wait until i reached 200, but i ran out of beer.

    I made a uds because I'm too broke for a expensive smoker, and I'm impressed with how well it works.

    Yeah I will try the foil method next time for sure. To be honest I just built this UDS. Im just suprised that it hold temp so well. Then again compared to what I was using before, anything holds temp great ( ECB )
