    Ham and Bean Soup

    What I do with soup if I don't want to break it down into smaller containers is fill the sink with ice water, put the pot in and stir every 5-10 minutes until it's cold.  Then it goes in the fridge.

    Well its all your fault guys...My UDS is now cooking its first shoulder!

    Well its all your fault guys...My UDS is now cooking its first shoulder!

    I only have one grate in mine because I haven't found a domed lid that wor ks yet.  Mine is 25 1/2' from the bottom of my barrel.  That leaves me about 8" from the grate to the top of the barrel.

    Traeger Durability? Help with my decision!

    I've had my Traeger for over 2 years now with no problems and I use it about an average of 3-4 times a month.  I always vaccuum out my fire pot and the bottom of the Traeger before each session.  I have heard of people burming out their ignitor rods from leaving too much ash in the pot.  Keep...
