So far I've done chicken , Italian sausage, cold smoked cheese and Chuck roast. The chuck turned out the best but it's probably because I watched it like a hawk. I have had trouble holding temp below 250 the whole time and I'm convinced it was leakage around the inlets at the bottom. I inadvertently installed one over a dent leaving a quarter inch gap in one spot.
A tube of black rtv was ordered and I sealed all around the inlets brackets with it. I'm running the smoker right now and am holding 250 nice and steady. If you make this brand of UDS I recommend running a bead of RTV sealant around the inlets brackets before installing them. I have much better control now.
