    UDS or Weber

    I know one of the advantages of the Drum is that it can go sometimes 16 hrs on fuel. Do you know if the Weber can get the same amount of hours?

    To foil or not to Foil

    I have used the 3-2-1 method for my ribs in the past and they have been good. I am thinking of experimenting without the foil this weekend. Should I mop them every half hour after the first 3 hours or mop right from the beginning?

    What's your opinion?

    good comments and i admit I did not think of some of the supporting statements and after reading them, I have to get past the fact that Q does not have to be from lump and cooked that day. I can understand the larger chain places or high volume places cooking ahead of time. This was a small...

    What's your opinion?

    I decided that I need some Q so I took an early lunch and went to one of the more popular joints in the area. While waiting for my ribs (not that great) I was talking with the waitress and she told me that the pulled pork and brisket are cooked the day before and then reheated for the next day...

    BBQ Competition

    Thanks for the feedback. I have a good rub for my ribs and pork, but I have only done a few briskets and only a few chickens. I heard that it is best to do thighs instead of whole chickens. Any thoughts, techniques, or suggested marinades to use>

    side pipes on a uds

    I also spent the last few hours looking at how to build the UDS. From the pictures I have seen, most have 3 intakes at the bottom and one has the ball valve. From most of the pictures I have seen, the other two are capped. Are three intake necessary and if so, what is the purpose of the other...

    MY new WSM

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I think I was to excited about getting her set up, that I forgot to fill the waterpan. I am going to run her again for a few hours tomorrow and then do some chicken on Sunday. I just need some time to learn the ins and outs.

    MY new WSM

    It has been holding steady at 313 for about 1/2 hour now. I did not realize how cheap the door is made. It does not seem to create a good seam. Do you know of any mods for the door?

    Competition Cooking

    TN, Thank you for the advice. Regarding the chicken, should I do legs, thighs, half chickens, whole? Well thinking about it I guess it would depend on if I wanted to pull or chop the pieces. I thought I would have to by a dozen or so pieces of butts, brisket, ribs. Thanks again.
