I finished my little removable table for my replacement UDS today. Used one of those plastic cutting boards and made it so I can take it on and off. Simple eye bolt and "S" hook attachment. I am looking for a better looking lid for it, but the old one that is on there now still works perfectly. I've cooked on it a couple times already. Going to go pick up a couple boston butts tomorrow for Friday. I will debone them and cut the meat into pieces. I love making butts for pulled pork, but I also like cutting them up so they cook faster. I usually slop them down really good with my sauce about an hour before they are done so they have a nice carmalization of bark and sauce. Did this a few weeks ago and it was food fit for royalty!
I do have to remove that thermometer I put on the lid. Pretty useless in that spot. Believe it or not, I have great luck with just a plain old long turkey frying thermometer that I can slip through the exhaust and put the tip at grate level. I have remotes I use for long cooks over night, but that long thermometer works great!
