I have a charcoal UDS. I do not soak my wood. I don't see a need to. Now you could make a pouch out of foil with holes poked in them after soaking them.
The first ones I did were easy. I took chicken boulan cubes or stock and mixed with some beer and injected it into the bird.( You don't have to inject) I then put on McCormick chicken seasoning on as a rub. I used Apple wood and had some water in the drip pan. I cooked them till they got to 165...
Man, the Beer and Ale thread is just as popular as a smoked thread.
Natural Light or Molsen Canadian here. Of course on the weekend the "supposed to be occasional" nort of Crown Royal on the side. Best whiskey there is in my opinion.
I hate to disagree with you Mule, But my rub is sugar based and nothing burned. I was around 275-300 for six hours. It was a Boston Butt and the bone pulled right out.
I agree with Turnandburn and Roadkill.
It can't be bad for you if the fat is dripping off. Also you are not directly injesting the smoke as if your head was over top and you were breathing it. I don't think anybody would do nothing but smoke the wood the whole time anyway without wrapping it at...
I cook right on the rack. Also no turning with fat down I don't inject either. One thing, If you don't want to spend more than 12 hours then cook it at a higher temp. By that I mean no higher than 300 degrees. It won't hurt it and will come out just as good.
Welcome JKoch.
I had one of those once and sold it . I never thought to make a smoker out of it. I don't have any advice, but I would approach it as where could I put my firebox first. I don't know if that is correct advice. Just my two cents. Good luck with the build and by the way post pics...
I use a large pizza pan with holes in it and a water bowl filled about 1/4-1/2 full of water depending on how long the cook is.
My last smoke I put in one small chip of Apple wood in the water bowl besides what I use in the charcoal basket just to see what would happen. I didn't see any difference.
I buy large bags of apple wood at Home depot for about $20. The have large chunks and some smaller pieces in the same bag. I have used them with about seven smokes and still have over a quarter of a bag left over. They also sell Hickory, peach, and Mesquite.
I bought a three stage Cajun Chicken Cooker on Amazon for $50 and free shipping. It is blemished. New they go for around $120. I read an equal amount of good and bad reviews. I am going to try it and I will let you all know.
I agree,
I have smoked about ten times and I find not to worry about how long it takes, but I am not going to smoke a Boston Butt @ 225 either. Takes way to long. I have read that some people do that.
