I did after 4 hours realize I could have lowered the temps with a little water. Oh well, it did work out as a huge storm has popped up and that would not have been fun. I am enjoying relearning smoking again.
There are some pics and final till slicing....
Yeah I washed it and for us with pastrami sandwiches that is usually enough on terms of salt, but we will see.
The smoker is almost done, 4 hours, I did get the temps down some more, but am anxious for Saturday and to try again.
Smoking corned beef for pastrami sandwiches tomorrow. This is the first smoke in my UDS and I already am learning lessons, or making mistakes.
1st one is use less lump in chimney to start fire. I used to much and fire started way to hot (398) . I got it to hold a steady 340 - 345 with shutting...
I got the drum around 2013 or so. So after 9 years I finally built her. I have a few tweaks to do, but she is ready to smoke.
Tomorrow I will light her up to season here and figure out temps. Smoking a corn beef as I play with it and figure it out. That will be for a pastrami dinneron Wednesday.
I hope to finish my UDS tomorrow and do a test smoke. My question is I was thinking of putting caster wheel on the bottom, then I wondered if it would be too hot for the hard plastic wheels?
Any thoughts?
