April 1st and I haven't posted anything in a LONG TIME, Dual Brisket High Heat Smoke/Cook
Well it's 3am and I must be lonely! (Matchbox 20, 3am) Ended up having to go to the store because i realized I didn't have any more foil OR something large enough to hold the briskets once I pulled them. Picked up 2 small meat therms as well and a 5 hour energy shot. Temped the smaller of the... -
April 1st and I haven't posted anything in a LONG TIME, Dual Brisket High Heat Smoke/Cook
So I wanted to show my semi skills with one of my many UDS cookers so I'm doing a dual high heat brisket cook. Briskets loaded into the smoker at 10pm local and i'm expecting them to be done aroun 6am for foiling and resting until about 10-11am. Cooking these in the 270-325 range with a failsafe... -

The Horror, Baby Backs in the Oven
HAHAHAHAHA!! I'm married and I feel your pain. Wife wouldn't touch it the first time I smoked ribs because of the "pink factor". Told her to go blind grab any one of the meat therms and bring them out and stab the meat, sure as i'm sitting here, temps don't lie. Especially when I have the... -
Unorthodox Dual 55 Gallon Drum with "Side Firebox" Concept
I saw that, and that's what i'm trying to stay away FROM. Just tossing around ideas right now, nothing's been set into motion. The reason I don't like the Big Baby set up is it's too much like a UDS, the only difference is there's even more distance between the heat source and the food, and as...- helljack6

Unorthodox Dual 55 Gallon Drum with "Side Firebox" Concept
Ok, so I've had a few ideas. I have almost all the hardware to do it now, just looking for feedback as far as build concept, fuel consumption efficiency and over all temp control efficiency. Be brutally honest as I can only do this once before the 15th of April as I'm using my smokers to do a...- helljack6

Sparerib Cooking Techniques??
Personally, i think you should decide what YOUR type of rib is first, then go from there. Everyone likes ribs cooked differently and what everyone thus far has suggested on how to cook ribs is how THEY like to eat them and not necessarily how YOU like to eat them. Answer a few questions for... -
Typical Newbie Brisket Questions
This is perhaps the EASIEST method for cooking brisket, again, coming from someone who's cooked well more than their fair share on the level with an offset smoker. Don't be intimidated by the fact that he's using a commercial sized smoker rig, look at the cooking principle behind the product... -
First ribs on the new rig
LMAO!!!! Glad to see i wasn't the only person smoking something yesterday in Lincoln, Nebraska. Nice rig, i'm going to go drive around Lincoln today to see if I can find that thing. -
Typical Newbie Brisket Questions
There's more than one way to skin a cat or in this case cook a brisket. While my method may not apply to you (I have a fleet of UDS smokers and long since dumped my CG as I did not like reloading it all the time or did I like the constant temp swings regardless of what mods I did) it's... -
Rib Primer
Bumped due to the nature of more rib posts, hopefully this will answer some questions for the new smokers looking to try their hand at a great set of ribs. -
Why the water pan?
I have to agree with almost everything said here. I have a fleet of UDS smokers and i've NEVER used a water pan in any of them due to the fact of how they cook, they create a moist enough atmosphere that the meat doesn't dry out. I think there's great uses for a waterpan, but your milage will...- helljack6

What do you do during an "all night-er"?
Sleep, my UDS fleet avg about 6-8 hours without any adjustments, barrel kicks or anything. Depending how the first hour goes and how much the temps bounce around generally tells me about how many hours of sleep unattended i'm going to get. Bear in mind I run my UDS in my garage out of the... -

Keeping a brisket moist?
Personally, if you don't want anything BUT the unadulterated flavor of the meat, S&P only, that's it. Hit it with heat and take it to 160, foil and then take it to 200. Leave in foil, set in cooler wrapped in towels for 1-2 hours depending on when you're going to eat (be prepared for excess... -
UDS burgers
UDS burgers are absolutely awesome, filled with flavor and incredibly juicy, it's the only way my family likes to eat them. Just a hint that has worked for me in the past, when you're mixing everything up ad 2tbsp of cold water into the mix, helps keep everything coming off juicy!!!- helljack6

challenges with Brinkmann Square vertical smoker
Your technique is right, the only thing you probably didn't know is that when you're smoking food, ALWAYS leave the exhaust wide open REGARDLESS of whatever your intakes are set at. Your intakes are used specifically for modulating your overall temperature, NOT the exhaust. Next time you try it...- helljack6
