    UDS w/Pitmaster IQ-charcoal flavor

    Isn't that what the Pitmaster is supposed to do? I'll look at the instructions again but I thought they said not to use any other bottom vent because it can't regulate the temp like it should.

    UDS w/Pitmaster IQ-charcoal flavor

    I just got the PitmasterIQ for my UDS. I run it with a Weber kettle lid with the vent fully open. Vents on the UDS are kept closed. In the firebox I use a layer of Kingsford hickory charcoal with either oak or hickory chunks on top. All lit with crumpled newspaper. The meat is coming out with a...

    Smoke time for a whole turkey

    I'm just used to smoking at that temp. Granted, I haven't done a larger bird like this, just a small fryer (besides pulled pork and ribs). I see what your saying. Thank you! This is also the first time using the weber lid I got for my UDS. Should be interesting. Any other tips?

    Smoke time for a whole turkey

    What should I plan on total smoking time for a whole turkey @ 225? It's 12 lb's. I know it's an approximation. Maybe I should be asking time/lb

    Pork butt in freezer for 2 years

    LOL!! But I don't want to spend 12 hours smoking a piece of meat just to find out it's no good.

    Pork butt in freezer for 2 years

    I just found an almost 6 lb pork butt in my freezer that I was saving up to smoke and forgot about. It's dated 2 years ago. It was wrapped really well in plastic wrap and a zip-top bag and shows NO signs of freezer burn. Should I go ahead and smoke it? PS - my outside freezer is kept at, or...

    grates made from a grocery cart?

    No prob. It started out as me just asking about the food grates, but then I thought about the firebox as the conversation turned more "toxic" LOL!!

    grates made from a grocery cart?

    Wow. I really wasn't expecting this to be such a controversial subject, but thanks for the information and opinions. So, a couple of days ago a shopping cart showed up in my garage. I am told they had the OK of the store Director to take it :) As it turns out, these carts have some other type...

    grates made from a grocery cart?

    The coating is what I'm concerned about also. According to the show "How It's Made" they are made of steel, dipped in nickel and coated with chrome. I'm not sure whether I'd use them for the food grates or not, but I think I'd be fine for the basket after heating up in a nice HOT HOT HOT fire?

    grates made from a grocery cart?

    Now I'm thinking, if I go with a square charcoal basket instead of round I can save the $10 for the expanded metal by using all grocery cart.

    grates made from a grocery cart?

    My daughter's boyfriend came up with the idea of cutting up an old grocery cart for grates. They work at a local grocery store, lol!! I don't know what grocery carts are made of or what they may be coated with or how they'll hold up to heat. Has anybody thought of/used this idea? I don't know...
