    First cook on UDS w/ QView

    Got the same design on my #7 build, though not NEARLY as gorgeous as yours, but yes, barely have the slide cover open and holds temps like a champ and easy on the back! How much starter fuel did you use? When I preburned mine I used about 5 or 6 briqs of Kingsford Comp and she burned almost 19...

    I have "seen" the light

    All I can add to what I've already posted is the following: - NO Foil - Take advantage of the "sweating" period as there's only about three of them during the whole cook Other than that, without Mr. Mills' permission, I can't tell you anything else as they are considered trade secrets.

    Brisket Weight/Smoking Time Question

    I know i'll probably get thrown out of the house for saying this, but i've tried it myself and it does work, so here goes..... With that size of a brisket yes you can do a low and slow cook, OR you can do a fast high heat brisket which borders the line between BBQ and Grilling. Simply put...

    I have "seen" the light

    Here's SOME: -6 hours, period. -Membrane Removed -Ribs smoked Bone Down, no turning/rotating or flipping -LOW and slow The two hours is a factual statement, based on that's how long the ribs are actually exposed to a "smoked" environment where they can take in the smoke flavor, but don't quote...

    I have "seen" the light

    Ok ya'll I hope you enjoy this bit of information as much as I enjoyed getting it. I had an opportunity to speak with the "ledgendary" Mike Mills today via the phone. While some probably aren't impressed and some others may not know who he is, allow me to shed some light on this topic. Several...

    Help me decide....

    I think a lot of it has to do with how much time (therapy) do you want to devote to tending the smoker? While I was a previous owner of the Char-griller, I found that my therapy times were often long as well as the fuel bill. I haven't heard a negative thing about the WSMs and for as much...

    Uds #6/#7

    This I can do with #7 as it's equal and the slide cover goes from partial cover to complete wide open.

    Uds #6/#7

    No it doesn't. I'm more inclined to think that what DDave stated about the size of the airtake being equal to the size of the exhaust is more of a factor than anything. I built #7 out of order because I was home that day waiting for the electrician. I'm going to complete the build on #6 testing...

    Uds #6/#7

    When it's done correctly, the locknut will be welded to the outer side of the intake and then you adjust tension via tightening the bolt a couple turns.

    Uds #6/#7

    So, after a long wait, I've finally brought myself to building UDS #6 and #7 of my fleet. #6 is now built and smoking and #7 will be an identical clone. Some of the most notable changes for these two from their brethren are: - Single 2" inch intake drilled centered at 2.5 inches from the bottom...

    Dial Thermo for Center Grate Temp

    Does it react as much as a digi therm when you put cooler meat on the cooking grate? Or does it seem to hold temp pretty solid regardless?

    smoker grills with offset firebox

    Save yourself a LOT of money and build your own UDS. Barrel plus parts will probably run you the same if not slightly more than an ECB. Use four 1" air intakes and you can easily hit 450-600 degrees. I know because I used mine last night with four 1/2" intakes and with all four open and the lid...

    Hey All UDS Builders..

    How does the heat shield affect your overall temps?

    Smoke Seepage Issue w/ pictures!

    As I already told you in chat, remove the charcoal tray in the MC, it's just more mass that absorbs your heat. Another technique I found when I owned mine was on barbecuebible.com in the CG thread, was if you weren't going to remove the charcoal tray from the MC, to raise it all the way to the...

    New to Smoking - ECB vs ECB w/ Propane

    I'd go with the ECB from HD personally. It cooks great Q, simple to use, just replace the factory therm on the body with a better one and you're set.

    Ongoing long burn tests

    OMG I so think you just nailed my issue on the head. I've been so paranoid with finding that "sweet zone" that I've let it become an agent of control instead of controlling the issue. Gonna switch back to dial therm today and use the digi therm for finding out the difference in temp from the...

    Where has Billbo been?

    I have to disagree with this statement because that's what the kids at Geek Squad or another entry level computer repair store are taught. That's what you're paying them for, the learning experience. Outside the military, I specialize specifically in home user virus and spyware remediation...
