Now for the kicker. Instead of bacon I wrapped it in caul fat. This is hard to find, it's a membrane used in charcuture or however you spell that.
Wrapped and ready to go.
On the UDS with some burnt ends.
It came out fantastic.
Decided to take a Fattie uptown today. Foie Gras Fattie.
2 lbs JD's rolled out and covered with a garlic and rosemary paste.
Goose liver pate.
Smoked duck from last weekend along with dried cherries soaked in rum. Yum!
Smothered in smoked Gouda cheese.
^New,
Not sure of the size. They measure 1 3/4" from the center of each bolt and they are sticking 2" into the drum now that they are bolted on. I used stainless steel. I got the idea from some guy's blog on how he built his. I liked the idea of not sticking my arm in and getting scratched up...
Rick,
I dug it big time. It will take some time to get used to it. The BB's were too well done on the bone side for my liking but all in all it was cool. I think I might ditch the smoke stack and go with the 8 x 1/2" holes this weekend. I had a ton of charcoal left over on Sunday and I burned...
Two butts and a duck ready to go on Sunday morning.
Ready for some sammies. Need to learn to hold the camera still. Probably drunk by that time.
Yesterday I added some bling.
All in all a sucessful first burn. Thanks all for your help and ideas on building my first UDS.
BB's ready for some cooler time.
Mango/Chipotle glazed chickens.
ABT's - Dates stuffed with manchago cheese topped with chream cheese toped with chorizo wrapped in bacon. Mmmm Goood.
Chicken with the ABT's.
While the "puter" guys were busy here I got my new drum dirty. I wanted to start off easy so I could get the feel of it.
BB's, Mango/Chipotle chicken, ABT's, Butts & a duck. Man glad I held back for the first burn.
There she sits look'n purdy.
BB's ready to go on.
I will be doing a maiden burn on my UDS this weekend. Thinking about some mango/chipotle chickens and maybe a duck. If ribs are on sale I might do them as well.
I apologize if this has been asked many times before. Tried the search function first. There seems to be many UDS build threads and many individual UDS “What I cooked today” kind of threads. I thought it would be useful to have a UDS cooking tips thread. An area where experienced Drumheads could...
Closed both caps and the ball valve about 1/2 way. She was still cooking when I go up this morning. On Saturday we're cooking!
I need to add a shelf and some gromet holes for my polder probe.
So I cleaned her up and soaked her with a good spay of PAM. Filled the basket about half way with Kingsford Blue. Here she is with the Deeze (aka Dumb Dumb) licking up the PAM spray off the gound.
After the coals got going I put a log of cherry on for good measure. Now she's smokin'.
I...
Any drumheads know the o.d. of the threaded stud on the Spicewine thermometer? I wanted to pick up a bit today and the thermometer will arrive tomorrow. If I recall from another thread that it was 1/2" so you drilled a 3/4" hole but I wanted to double check. Thanks.
Got14U, they are additional air vents. You just remove the cap for more air or put it back on for less. Cheaper than using all ball vales.
Hog Warden, you made the right choice. Heavy gage stell is better IMHO. Good snag on the drums.
