    Questions about my UDS build.

    Hi all, I have finally gotten around to completing my first UDS build. I will be smoking a butt on it in the morning, but I need some verification first. I have seen quite a bit of people use the no welding basket, but I have a 24 qt pot that I got from academy for crawfish boils that I don't...

    The science behind smoking.

    HI all.    I have been an avid smoker for a little while now, and recently something hit me. I want to try to figure out the right combinations of flavors, and what smoke goes great with those flavors, and all the sci-ency stuff that goes along with it. I'm having a hard time finding any place...

    What do ya'll use left overs for?

    thinking about a grilled cheese sandwich with some fat from a brisket sounds delicious right now...I think im going to make that. That sounds like a good idea to use it for a non stick on a pan, especially for eggs in the morning to give it a smokey taste.

    What do ya'll use left overs for?

    lol I'll just tell my wife to use the fat from the fridge for conditioner, I think she would take well to that idea.

    What do ya'll use left overs for?

    lol I had my fair share of fat last night, it is delicious for sure. I am the only one at my house at the moment so eating an entire 6.5 pound brisket worth of fat sounds very very bad haha. I was thinking about freezing it for future uses...It almost seems like bacon , or fatback.

    What do ya'll use left overs for?

    So i just finished up my brisket last night, and I didn't trim any fat off the beauty. I was wondering what do yall do with the fat thats been smoked? Save it for a stew? A stock?

    Looks good, I like the smoker also. What type of wood are you using for your pork?

    first brisket, with a ECB

    Since you brought up your brisket, how do you personally prep yours? I see some people do a marinade for a while , THEN they put their rub on. I put my rub on while it was marinating.

    first brisket, with a ECB

    thank you! I feel like the towel method you mentioned to me would've turned it into a better piece of meat, but I was so dang hungry I couldn't resist. It cut almost like butter, and it had a little tug to it when pulling it apart but i like it that way. I just wish it was a tiny bit closer to...

    first brisket, with a ECB

    Oh okay, well good thing I did what came to mind and put it back on the smoker lol. I think the towel method might have to be skipped because this sucker is smelling and looks delicious...patience is not my friend on this one.

    first brisket, with a ECB

    At 3 my time i wrapped it at 160 and let it finish up to 180. I want to try to slice it , but if it doesn't work then ill pull it. but when you wrap it do you throw it back on the smoker? or put it in an insulated container?
