    Seasoning and testing the UDS

    I got lucky and found a temperature idicator at walmart in the outdoor section on closeout. Marked down to $12 from $19. It is 50-500 1/2 npt threads and 2 inches long. When I tested it in boiling water it 10 degress off....which is typical at high altitudes. I think it was grill care...

    Count me in, I am willing to trade for anything other than a Whataburger. If I had another one of those again so soon, I will have to move to Texas.

    Intakes: Single 1" Ball-valve or common 3/4 x 3 set-up?

    Watch the gate valve, the characteristics of it will be different that a ball valve. Gate Valves are designed to restrict more on the bottom end than the top. Just my $0.02

    ahh help my lid won't fit uds

    What kind of lid are you using? When I used a uniflame lid from walmart, I had to bend the bottom of the lid with a pliers then hammer it flat. From there it would sit on top of the drum. Once I got it perfect'o.....I then rounded what little bit of the lid I could over the drum to help the seal.

    Welcome aboard Jim, I would have to agree with FireItUp. I think you would have to cure the meat in some fashion first, but I am no expert, my local butcher just does it for me when I bring in a pig.

    Rick, have you tried fortune telling? I think it is your calling. I filled the basket today and started it up in 40 degree surroundings. I lasted 10 hours and then dropped to 150 for an hour then done. Will have to build the basket bigger than what I did. I will probably oversize it and...
