    Arthur Bryant's Original BBQ Sauce

    For me this sauce is an aquired taste. It is heavy on vinegar and a really different taste from most sauces. I think you can buy it on line. Try it a couple of times before you decide if you like it or not. I like it best on brisket.

    Going to build a UDS

    If you have a Big Lots store in your area they also sell a cheap bbq pit for about $25-30. Both the lid and bottom work well for domes on a UDS.

    How many BBR on a UDS at one time?

    I agree, keeping the temp up will be the key. I have been using my newly constructed UDS a lot lately and heavily loaded. Not having any problems at all.

    "Fat Lake" in the UDS

    Thanks for all the information. I did have a lot of liquid and never considered that it might just be water. The ash pan is a 18 inch pizza pan. Since the lump charcoal I use is very effecient I do not get a lot of ash. This is the first time I have had that much liquid in the bottom and I...

    "Fat Lake" in the UDS

    This past weekend I smoked two pork butts in the UDS. Yesterday I went to clean out the ash pan and discoverd it was almost floating in a lake of liquid fat in the bottom of the drum. Has anyone ever built a UDS with a bottom drain plug to avoid haveing to pour the fat out? My other thought...

    Lasagna Fattie

    Nice work on your fattie. I made one almost exactly like that around Christmas time and it was outstanding. The only difference is that we put the cut up fattie in a pan covered it with sauce and extra parmasan cheese and baked for a few minutes until the cheese melted. Outstanding.

    My First Pastrami - Temp battle!!

    Looks wonderful. We will dine on my first one tonight. Never having done a brisket of any kind before I relied on information from this forum to wait out the temp stall. I smoked this pastrami in my newly completed UDS and had no temp problems. I too used Jeff's method. The whole smoke took...

    1st Weekend in March, Whats Smokin'?

    Here in Idaho we are supposed to have rain. However, I can get under cover to carry on with the smoking. We are hosting a wine party on Saturday and will be serving smoked cheese that has been resting in the fridge for two weeks along with some smoked sausage. Sunday I am smoking a new one...

    What is the "Perfect" barrel for a UDS?

    I just finished my second UDS last weekend. Both barrels had a brown liner that came out with a good burn and a few hours work with a knotted wire wheel on my power drill. The tops were closed and all it took to get them off was to drill a pilot hole for a thick metal saber saw blade and then...

    UDS Kettle Lids (2) + Cooking/Fire Grates for $29

    I just bought one of those last week and what you say is true, more bang for the buck. I have two drums and will be able to use the bottom and top of this unit for lids. I also got to use one grill and then used the ash grill as the bottom of my charcoal basket. Instead of reworking the...

    Stainless Steel UDS

    I just cut the tops out of two barrels with my saber saw and a heavy metal blade. Cut was as close to the rim as I could get by riding the saw on the rim as I cut. Clean up the edges with a grinder or file and you are good to go. I will be posting pictures soon of the final build.

    Painting the inside of a UDS?

    The only part giving me problems at this point is the bottom of the barrel. I think the fire I burned in it just did not get the heat needed to the bottom. So, I think a torch will finish the burn for me and then see what the wire wheel brush will do. As was stated, I am almost there. I will...

    Painting the inside of a UDS?

    Thanks folks. That is what I thought the responses might be but just had to ask. I got a good burn on the one I am making and it is now down to bare metal. I appreciate the input.

    Painting the inside of a UDS?

    I am in the process of building a UDS using the methods I have learned on this forum. I am almost done and just had a thought. Instead of removing the liner, as I have just done, couldn't you just paint the inside with high temp resistent paint instead? Has anyone ever tried it or is this...
