I'm going to try my 1st 1 next weekend. Found me a ceramic setter made for turkeys, has a nice wide base to help hold it up. Just add the beer and other ingredients. Probably smoke at a higher temp. Thinking around 300* to get it up to 140* before the magic 4 hr time. And I'll use apple chunks...
I'm smoking some babybacks and tators for the 1st time on my new drum. Never did twice smoked taters. Is it better to put them (taters) on at the beginning, then when they're done to foil and set aside then add the fillings then back on the last 45 min or so to reheat?

Welcome, I would recommend taking the 5day e-course. Find the tab on the left. It has a lot of info. Apple is wood of choice when people want just a touch of smoke. It has a real mild taste. There is a lot of rub recipes here,look under rubs and sauces.
bday party went great. I use Jeff's rub and SoFlaQuer's finishing sauce. Everyone loved the pulled pork and my homemade BBQ sauce on the side.

Been using capt. morgan and apple juice for a while now. I agree its one of the best sprays there is. Also use the capt. on my salmon before putting my dry brine on. I believe I got the idea from erain.
wutang, thanks.
the temps I was getting was at least 2 to 3 inch into the meat. the outside had pretty good bark starting. So I would guess the surface had to be at least 160 in the 5 5 1/4 hr time. Feeling a lot better now. The last thing I wanted was to make a bunch of old folks sick.
bmudd, Rivet, thanks . I was thinking the same thing. I'm quite confident it was no more than 5 hr 15min tops where all areas of the meat I checked was 140+(checked several areas per butt). I need to get more therms. now that I'm smoking more meat. Just got the 1 plus a pocket one.
didn't get pic's before I started but here's some well into the cook. 8 hrs in meat temp is all over 150 to 172. Dang wish I didn't fall a sleep but got up at 4:30 to go to work Friday and I guess 20 hrs was all I could take.Got drum @ 260 at the center between the 2 shelves.

I'm smoking 4 Butts 8 to 10 lb range. Smoking in an UDS. Put the meat on cold. (probe read 34ish) when I put all the meat in, the temp dropped to 170 which didn't surprise me and it took about 30 min to get back up to 240 in the center of the drum about 200 3" in from the edge. I've got 2...

I do a lot of grilling with royal oak lump. So I know it likes company. (The more there is the happier it is) Now that I have my UDS. I'm wondering how it works in a UDS using the minion method? Or is briquettes better?
