drum questions
Does a burn out take care of a plastic liner? Seems like people always talk about having to grind them out . . .- donnylove

drum questions
I was hoping for an answer like John's. We'll see what exactly this barrel is like once I get it. I've looked around for new or refurbished drums, but haven't found a local source. I could get a refurbished one shipped here for around $50, but if I figured I'd hold out and try to find a...- donnylove

drum questions
So I've decided to build myself a UDS. I finally located a drum and was stoked to have found a food-grade version, thinking that I wouldn't have to burn it out. These drums had honey or corn syrup in them. Two downsides: 1.) It's a closed topper, so I'd have to cut the top off (I've been told I...- donnylove

Ahhhh. That would explain my problem. No more searching for just UDS, MES, TBS, etc!- donnylove

Interesting . . . I guess I just need to de-simplify my searches. Thanks!- donnylove

Search problems
Okay, so "pork butts" worked for me now, but why wouldn't UDS yield anything? I can't think of what else I've had trouble with, but for the last week or so I've had this happen with a couple different search keywords.- donnylove

Search problems
I've been having trouble with the search feature lately. I put in something that I know should bring numerous results, such as "UDS" or "pork butt" and I get 0 results. All of my settings are the most liberal they can be. Is anyone else having this problem? Am I missing something? Thanks- donnylove

Webber vs ProQ vs UDS ????
Not to pirate your thread, but I've been having the same thoughts and have begun looking forward a cheap (or free) drum and I haven't had much luck. I've tried a couple of the big food services companies, a local brewery, and a steel company. I'm sure I could get one from an oil distributor...- donnylove

Inside Round Roast - qview along the way
Did you really only use 1/2 a cup of chips for the whole smoke or is that a misprint? I usually feel like I'm not getting enough smoking onto my meat with the MES and I putt in a small handful of chips every 1/2 hour or so . . . -

17-lb turkey smoke
Another thought . . . the skin (and fat layer) on this bird was formidable. Thicker than I've ever seen before, which certainly helped keep it moist, but does it also inhibit smoke penetration? I'm reaching here . . . -
17-lb turkey smoke
Final results . . . the breast hit 168 just after 5 pm for a total smoke time of about 5 hrs, 15 mins. I let it rest (tented) for about half an hour, then carved one breast for dinner (grilled zucchini and garlic french bread on the side). The turkey smelled wonderful as I carved it (very much... -
17-lb turkey smoke
Thanks for the compliments! 142* in the breast at the 3-hr mark. Starting to look very pretty and smells wonderful . . . -
17-lb turkey smoke
2 hrs in and I'm at 118 degrees deep in the breast . . . -
17-lb turkey smoke
Well after the first hour, I was having trouble maintaining temperature in the chamber. The digitial readout on my MES showed 270+*, but my probe had me at just 199*, which won't cut it, especially on a bird of this size. I took the water pan out and ten minutes later I'm at 266* on the probe... -
17-lb turkey smoke
Today I'm smoking a 17.7-lb fresh to frozen turket that I got from a Hutterite colony last year. Since it is so large, I'm smoking it beer can-style at 275*. Hopefully that will keep me from being in the danger zone for too long. Many thanks for Walking Dude for his help on this one. Here are my... -
12 lb butt?
I only get the Red X where the pics should be. Why is that? Happens often for me on this forum . . . -
Sale today!
Thanks for the input. Maybe I'll get a couple of each and compare for myself . . . -
