    Roll call from New Hampshire

    HLGoldens, I now use a homebuilt UDS, prior to my most recent pork butt I generally ended up with stuff that was cooked too tough or over smoked, but thanks to this site my last pork butt turned out very tasty although I am sure as I go on they will get better.

    problem with my uds temp

    I use a Chimney and lump charcoal Cowboy brand because it is the only lump readily available, my thermometers are at the outside edge of the barrel sticking in no more than a 1.5" at most. right now since the sun seems to be on the barrel, I am at 225 now
