    My first brisket smoke

    You are right about the short probe.  I'm looking into a different type, maybe with a longer probe like the one on my deep fryer...

    First Fire in my UDS not working Help

    What Kind of drum?

    I found two drums on Craig's list one with the red lining and the other with the pinkish-tan lining for $20 each.  I burned both out for 8 hours using wood pallets I got for free from the local Home Depot.  After the burn I took both to the coin car wash and powered off the char residue.  I...

    Hello, all

    Houston Texas here.  I'd have to say I'm a so-so smoker but I'm getting better.  I have a ECB I use for smoking but I'd like to move up.  I've seen a few videos on YouTube about how to build an UDS but I'm having a bit of problem locating a drum.  If anyone knows where I can get one in the...
