    UDS Pork Butt Way Ahead of Schedule

    I put a 13lb bone in pork but on the UDS at midnight, figured it would be ready for a late lunch. Here it is 9:30 am and the internal temp is already at 190. the 733 thermo has been showing a grate temp of 235 Why is is so far ahead of the hour to hour and a half per lb ? Thanks Dave

    Rub Time

    This has probably been covered before here, but I couldn't find it. Is it best to apply the rub to ribs and let then sit wrapped overnight, or rub them 2 hours before putting them on the smoker Thanks Dave

    Finally a free day for some ribs on the UDS

    Finally a free day... 1st time in 8 weeks I fired up the drum. Local butcher always has nice baby backs, 3.99 a lb but oh well.
