    Questions on smoking with a new UDS.

    I don't see any need to do any fancy snake method or anything in there. I fill my basket full every time and add a half dozen lit coals. It works flawlessly and when I'm done smoking I close up the vents and exaust to save the remaining coal for next time. I use the Minion method for my wood...

    My UDS

    You should try using chunks and the minion method. Chips flare up, burn up and are gone in minutes. This is why the temp is so high I would guess. Also could be you need to seal around the lid and intakes with high temp RTV. I have been out of chunks before and had to wrap my chips up in foil...

    Double Grate UDS ?'s

    I have the flat lid and mine are 7 inches down and 6 inches apart. The lower grate is 20 or so degrees hotter. I just plan accordingly and use two probes for temp.

    New UDS not heating up enough.

    My intakes are 3/4 inch and about 3/4 inch up from the bottom. If it were me I would probably find a new drum and start over. This design is proven and trying to do something different always makes more problems than it's worth. Lots of guys use 1 inch ball valve and that works fine too. 1/2...

    New Grill/Smoker Advice??

    I can get 3 spatchcock birds in mine just barely. One thing about it, the weber will work perfect right out of the box. Both those other smokers you are going to have to do quite a bit of work to to seal them up and make them work good. I know they look so cool and all but if it were me I would...

    Thuringer sausage

    I have a hand cranked 5 pounder that I love. It is a Weston and I got it on sale one year for just under a hundred bucks. Northern tool has good ones for about the same price but they do have plastic gears, while mine has all steel gears and should last a lifetime. Lem is more expensive and they...

    Smoke ring...or lack of....

    Well I'm a KBB guy and it is still hit and miss weather I get a good ring or not. But like I said I really don't care if I do. It is kind of neat sometimes though. I find I get more smoke rings with cherry than any other wood. By the way, I hate mesquite. I can't even stand the smell of it...

    My First UDS

    You will want the intakes directly facing the gap between the ash pan and the bottom of the basket. Mine are 3/4 of an inch up from the bottom.

    My First UDS

    That looks like it will work just fine. I don't use a diffuser plate. I don't think there is a real need for one and I have had my UDS for 4 years. I have hinged weber grates with one 7 inches down and one 6 inches below that. I like to be able to toss a wood chunk or two down into the basket...

    Thuringer sausage

     Just my two cents here but save a few bucks here and there and get yourself a dedicated stuffer. I used my KA to stuff several times and finally bit the bullet and purchased a 100 dollar stuffer. Best thing I ever got for cooking. It makes it into a fun experience not a fight. Good looking...

    Smoke ring...or lack of....

    If you are not using wood then that is where your problem lies. Lump charcoal no matter what flavor it is does not impart much if any smoke flavor to meat. If you want a good smoke ring use some cherry chunks and the minion method and try to achieve tbs. I don't find the smoke ring makes much of...

    What Kind of drum?

    Pretty simple by looking at a picture with the lid off. If it has a liner it would be yellow, brown, red or grey. Otherwise it would just be bare metal. You do not need a food grade barrel. You can use a petroleum barrel or any other barrel as you will be burning it out and taking it down to...

    New Grill/Smoker Advice??

    I am a Weber man and I do most of my daily smoking on mine. I have the 22 inch performer. It comes with these baskets and hinged grates which makes the smokinater irrelevant. You can get a pretty fair amount of food on one too.

    Working on my first UDS and wanted advice.

    zinc is what I used. I just burnt them off with a torch and burned it a few times before I did a big cook on it. Nothing like galvinized.

    swine apple.

    Just like yours the weave did not hold out. The bacon was almost gone. Sure tastes good. CSR's were not quite done either. It is still pretty good though. I don't know if I will do a thread Not totally impressed with this. Some things need to get worked out before i do this again.

    Help Pork Butts Sucked

    I have not had good luck with lump on long cooks. I think some is better than others for sure. KBB is your friend. Just whatever coal you use make sure you let it go long enough befoe you start cooking. I use my UDS most which is just like your cooker but home made and if you don't let it warm...
