Ok Florida smokers...
We are 15 feet above sea level in Largo (Pinellas) Evacution zone C. They told the A's (waterfront and mobile homes) to be prepared to leave... I have to put my BBQ managerie inside the garage and make sure the shed is tied down nice and tight. I have a small sailboat and 2 fresh T-bucket...- 4t64rd

Yikes! Ants!
What about steam? or boiling? Wood won't burn, ants might get outta dodge when it gets a little warm in there.- 4t64rd

My first smoke on a new UDS... Brisket Q-view too
It was in the cooler for an hour and a half... I tried to wait 2 hours, but I was weak... I think I might have pulled it off the drum a bit early, some of the less fatty slices were tough... no problem though, I took some of the marinade I had left, and boiled the tough slices with some onions... -
My first smoke on a new UDS... Brisket Q-view too
Slicing... Any ideas for keeping this moist? One end stayed nice and juicy after I sliced it, the other, kinda dried up -
My first smoke on a new UDS... Brisket Q-view too
Was stalled at about 170, I'm going to pull and wrap at 175... What it looked like at 170 I flipped it to put a crust on the top, it was still very juicy and wet. threw a couple of chicken breasts on just cuz. -
My first smoke on a new UDS... Brisket Q-view too
at 3:16, just about 3 hours in, temp has climbed up to 240, and I've closed off as much as I can as far as vents... meat is at 152 degrees. Since this a half brisket, without the thick point, I don't think this is going to take 8 hours to get to temp... would I be right? P.S. I love this... -
UDS, plan B
Ace Hardware, you don't need to buy the toolbox to get them... get 4, the flimsey steel the cheap lid is made from doesn't want to stay down without extra... I have a vise grips on it now, and I've got a few of those big spring clips you buy (or steal from work) from office supply.- 4t64rd

My first smoke on a new UDS... Brisket Q-view too
Talk about trial by fire, literally. Just finished getting my UDS up and running, had it at 230, so I decided it was time to get the brisket flat ready... all they had at Sams club is halfs, so it'll have to do. They do a pretty good job of leaving the right mount of the fat cap on, so I... -
UDS, plan B
The goofy shape will make it easier to lift out past the bolts that stick inside the smoker to hold the grill up. I'm going to start another post with my first brisket, but here it chugging along at 220 in the rain, under a window awning on my cluttered porch. I added toolbox latches to the...- 4t64rd

UDS, plan B
Plan B's charcoal basket is now done, I have to adapt the ash catcher to fit how this thing came out, I split a 24" x 24" expanded metal grate down the middle and welded them end to end in a torpedo shape, then I took the bottom charcoal grate from the cheapo kettle, and bent it in a "V" to fit...- 4t64rd

First Brisket On The Smoker.....Finally w/Qview
Rays swept my hometown Tigers... I wanna celebrate with some brisket... what's your address again? -
getting the lid off a uds
Mine had the weded in recessed lid, so I just took my handy dandy Harbor Freight 4" angle grinder with a metal grinding disk, and ground off the top edge where the lid metal is pinched and welded to the drums outside lip... about a 1/16", One you grind off enough to see that it's two separate...- 4t64rd

UDS, plan B
My UDS, made with most of cheap Big Lots/MacFrugals Kettle grill I took the bottom of the grill and sliced off the outside 7" for the ash catcher... Just in case anybody was thinking about this, it DOES NOT WORK! a hot plate will only get this thing to about 130 degrees... Plan B (which was...- 4t64rd

Less than ideal smoking of pork sausage w/Qview
Thanks for the tips, next time I'm going to add some more fat, and some binder... In my meatloaf, I sometime use oatmeal or rice too, might make them crumble a little easier too. -
Less than ideal smoking of pork sausage w/Qview
I started using the cast iron smoker box I got from my ugly drum smoker in my cheapo gas grill... kinda works, but it's less than ideal. This morning, I'm off work (4 day work weeks in the summer) I ground up some more of pork steaks (they call them sirloin) in the food processor, and seasoned... -
Remote thermometers
I bought one, and I'm having trouble keeping it connected, There's enough power for the display and the green light on the base, but not enough to transmit to the remote, even when it's right next to it... I change the batteries and it works for a 1/2 and stops connecting. I'm going to try a...- 4t64rd

Info on UDS
I burned out (I think) my drum over the weekend, I loaded it up with orange tree and pallet wood, and it burned way out the top for about 3.5 hours, and was still smoldering 18 hours later. The paint was almost all gone, flaking off with the rub of a brass wire brush... I think I have a...- 4t64rd
