    Goose Leg Recipe?

    Yes, I would rub them and smoke them at 250* on a cedar plank, when they reach an internal temperature of 145 pull from the smoker and rest for at least one hour wrapped in foil (including the cedar plank). You may want to toss in some cherry or pineapple juice while resting to keep the plank...

    Rookie BB ribs on UDS

    My sugesstion would be to make sure that thermometer on the lid is accurate. Also, you would be surprized at the temperature variation from that to the actual grate that you are cooking on. My comment is...way to go! I love ribs on my UDS.

    Any tips for a first time smoker?

    Research the "Minion Method" for how to manage your fire/coals. It is the most efficiant way to run your ECB. Also whatever you do avoid the kingsford blue bag briquettes. Try to find all natural stuff. the kingsford compitition briq's are pretty good. Your weather will definatly be a factor...

    First time making bacon... help!

    If you have the correct ammount of cure #1 (amount per lb of meat) and cured it for the correct amount of time (time based on thickness of meat) the internal temperature shouldn't matter. The cure inhibits the the growth of bacteria. I highly suggest this book: Great Sausage Recipes and Meat...

    I will NOT give up on my AMZNPS !

    I had problems getting my pellet smoker to work so I switched to a tube and it works like a charm. Just my 2 cents...although I do not own an MES so I cannot speak to how it will work in that unit.

    Green Wood?

    Before I knew better I smoked a turkey with fresh apple wood, no problems. I don't use it anymore though, I would just hate to ruin a good piece of meat.

    What thermometer to buy???

    I think for the money you cant beat the maverick (if you are stuck on having a dual probe). I have a single probe maverick and the wireless range is pretty weak. I hear there is a Mod for it to extend the range but that is just not something I am into. I use that and a couple cheapos that I...

    AMPS or AMTS?!?

    I have a GOSM vertical propane smoker, I started with the AMPS but could never get it to burn really good. I traded it for the tube smoker and have never looked back. Not really sure why but I think the propane flames starve the AMPS of the oxygen it needs to burn completely. The tube smoker...

    Best Smoker for Cured Sausage?

    Great outdoors smokey mountain smoker (big block) propane smoker with the needle valve mod. That thing will fit 30 lbs of sausage at once and the needle valve mod will allow for good control.

    Do I need to burn my drum?

    I had a party and a bon fire, it took a few hours to do a complete burn. Drilling your intake holes in the bottom will help the bottom burn. There are some really good step by step UDS builds on this site explaining how to clean. Good luck, you are really going to like your UDS!
