    Post Your Bird Pix

    My first turkey smoke on my MES 30. One whole 12 pounder broken down to cook faster and an 8 pound bone in skin on breast. My mother in law doesn't like spice so everything but the wings got a salt and pepper rub. Wings got a little rub I buy from a guy at a local farmer's market.

    30 Gal Drums

    Hi All, Been lurking for a while but wanted to pop on and ask a question. I currently do all my smoking in an MES30 but have an itch to build an UDS. Do these look good for a build? I wasn't sure about the aluminium paste. The listing says you have to take 5 minimum but I thought I'd check here...
