    Temp Problems on UDS

    I completed my UDS build and did a seasoning smoke to learn nuances of unit. I placed three probes on the top grate and let it rip. I had up to a 60* variance in the temps registering by probes depending on how many caps (lower) I had off. I had a 40+* difference when I got it around 275*...

    Charcoal Basket for UDS

    I feel like a dipstick on this one...this will absolutely work. I have become anal goofing with this in my head while on the road for work. I have one of these local, and spoke w/ them on the phone. They have what I need regardless of which direction I go. I will be at the same address...

    Charcoal Basket for UDS

    Thanks for your help! What kind of wire did you use / is that also attaching grate to walls? My idea was to make ash pan and basket as one. (Zero personal interest in galvanized.) I can't find 3" stainless (threaded entire way) either in hex or carriage. I have not looked for black steel.

    Fuel for the UDS

    From what I understand all drums have their own personalities, and it is wise to catch temp as it rises rather than trying to decrease temps. At what temp do you start capping intakes and then start trimming ball valve to land in 225 -250 range? (Looking for rough idea, and understand some...

    Charcoal Basket for UDS

    Thanks for the help! I know I can buy the 24x24 sheet at a big box store, they have it in stock. A 24x28 sheet will make sides 8" high and increase volume ~ another 25%. I will price this size at local Metal Supermarket and if not astronomical high will jump on it. The Weber that I have...

    Charcoal Basket for UDS

    Would the 20/20 charcoal basket discussed in this thread be sufficient for an UDS? Effectively it is a 12"x12" square with 6" sides. Square vs. circular in shape does not matter? Any users of this know how much charcoal (briquettes) this will hold...

    I call it the 20/20 Charcoal basket...

    Great idea! Any idea of how much charcoal (briquettes such as kingsford) this will hold? Any input for this being used in UDS?

    Brining Turkey w/Cure Question???

    I have used a cure brine on turkey(s) after reading about it on here, and getting some very gracious help. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ad.php?t=86405 They are fantastic, have a nice hammy flavor and very juicy.

    how many have you bought?

    Have 6 so far, when I get back into town will load up more. $1.99 pound, 60% off of normal local price. I have been selective, snagging uniform sized cuts (per cut), limited visual / feel of connective tissue, and limited fat. Is this correct? Appears some are points? (I hope they are...

    Finish Temp ? for Corned Beef (Eye of Round)

    I snagged two eye of rounds at major discount, that were commercially processed in same way as a brisket cut for corned beef. I soaked and changed water, doing a fry test to determine the salt level was OK, then rubbed and wrapped overnight. I was set in my brain taking it to 165*, foil and...

    UDS Build Question

    I have a weber lid which fits very well. The barrel is 34" tall. I am planning to construct the bottom of charcoal basket 3" off the bottom; place lowest rack 24" above the floor of basket. If I drop 1" from the top of barrel to place top rack, that gives me 6" between racks. This 6" does not...

    Belly Bacon questions

    Newbie looking for some advice. I have successfully knocked out buckboard 3-4 times and now want to try some belly bacon. I have found an international market that stocks bellies. I was under a major time constraint when I visited, and have only visually verified they have them. The bellies...

    Curing a ham at home

    Can you still get bone sour from something that does not have a bone? The following is what I have purchased from Bass Pro...it is insta-cure #1. Package is rather small and rather light, send me a PM and let me know if it is OK to send this in the mail and how expensive you think that might...

    what type of bacon

    Enlighten a newbie. Bacon (on my current smoking capabilities 245-250 max) blows. The fatties I have done are usually sliced, quick pan sear, topped with an over easy egg on toasted fresh bread. (uhh, no I am not a cardiologist) I did some bacon wrapped chicken breasts, bird was just OK...
