    I need a new smoker

    Finally finished my UDS on saturday and did some spare ribs yesterday. Easy to keep the temperature under control and plenty of room for family dinners. Doesnt take too much fuel and when the neighbors look over the wall and ask "are you cooking with a trash can" it only makes you laugh.

    Alright, so I am in the process now of getting the "liner/paint" out of a drum that help apple juice in its previous life. I made a fire in the drum on Monday night; however, it was not large enough to do the trick. I am aware that it has to be a large, hot fire, but I am smack dab in the middle...

    Who uses the minion method?

    I just used the minion method this Sunday for a Tri Tip. It was much easier to keep everything at a low temp and I was able to stay on the couch for the whole football game isntead of having to check all of the time. ET-73 never went off saying it was too high on the temp either.
