    My 1st BBQ Guru use and review

    Hello All, Like many of you I get a real personal satisfaction that stems from cooking, particularly smoking and grilling. I am always looking for ways to improve on the process and make it easier in the long run. My main smoker at this point is my homemade UDS and it is perfect for my...

    Where are the Drums?

    http://gainesville.craigslist.org/for/3264180849.html This guy usually has some for sale. It is a little bit of a drive but depends how bad you want it. You may also search for local feed stores or whatever near where you live. I got my drum from a feed and tack store. Also, places like tractor...

    What is safe to burn out barrel?

    I just used a few pallets broken up. They can be found for super cheap/free in most towns.

    So I did the Popular Mechanics Build and got some opinions and questions

    Another thing you may consider next time would be to only use one ball valve instead of 4. At 10-15 bucks each, that gets pricy. I know when mine is cooking, I only run my 1" valve between 1/3 and 1/2 open. I have 3 other intakes with caps on them that I only use to bring it up to temp.

    UDS questions

    I have seen a mini UDS with only 12-15 inches above the coals. At some point you would be grilling vs. smoking though I think. I have my single grate set up ~7 inches from the top. I have done everything except a stand up beer can chicken and still have plenty of room to spare. I want to change...

    What is my UDS worth?

    Ok, I guess I am in the ball bark then. I guess they are worth whatever someone is willing to pay, we will see how it goes.

    What is my UDS worth?

    Lately, I have been looking for some easy ways to make some extra money on the side. Long story short, after building my first UDS I have had several people ask me about it and where to get one and blah blah blah. Nonchalantly, I said to my friend that if he liked it so much I would sell it to...

    Well, here goes my first all nighter... Done now w/ Q-view.

    Also forgot to mention, when I woke back up...the temps were down a little at 215*. I opened the ball valve a smidge and we are back at good temps in no time. I used a full basket of coals, I am going to let it run until it dies. I am curious to see how long it will take. I have to work at 8am...

    Well, here goes my first all nighter... Done now w/ Q-view.

    All done and what I would consider a success. My temps locked in early and held strong. I only made a slight adjustment to put it in the 230's after about 3.5-4 hours since it was going over night. I set the alarm on the thermo and never heard a peep, it was nap time. I hit 200* right around...

    Well, here goes my first all nighter... Done now w/ Q-view.

    Well, 3 hours in and the temps are holding strong. I am fluctuating between 245-250. The meat went on around 65* and after 3 hours we are around 155*. Hoping to get a big stall so this thing doesn't finish too soon. I am not going to foil because bark is awesome and I love it. I will spritz...

    Well, here goes my first all nighter... Done now w/ Q-view.

    This is my 2nd smoke in my newly built UDS. On the menu a 7.26 lb pork picnic ready for some loving. After the rubdown and out of the fridge about go on the smoker. Doesn't Jeffs rub look good on there, um yes. Here we go, meat goes on at 10:45pm. Hoping to be able to have a pulled pork...

    My first UDS adventure (will be pic heavy) **All Done**

    And the final product, it turned out great. I broke out the slicer and sliced it all up and made some sammies on potato rolls.  Boy were they good, loving my UDS right now.

    My first UDS adventure (will be pic heavy) **All Done**

    Well today was my first smoke. I took out a corned beef brisket to make some pastrami. It weighed 4.6lbs and was pretty lean. I soaked it yesterday for a total of about 8 hours while changing the water out 3 times. Then I seasoned it and wrapped it up for the night in the fridge. I woke up at...
