    Wanted new rub not Jeffs

    I bought and have been using Jeffs for a few years when I started. I'm wanting something different. I cut the heat on Jeffs because the wife doesn't like it. I can't pinpoint why I want the change but just not loving it. When I've had restaurants or friends BBQ it's been nice for a change. Any...

    Mini WSM bad burn time

    Okay so I am only getting about 5 hours with a filled basket and minion method. I have the base cut out of the pot and a 9" skillet for a diffuser.

    Honey BBQ glazed chicken kabobs on the mini WSM - Q view

    Well I followed Jeff's recipe on doing honey BBQ wings but had breasts on hand so cut them up and did kabobs since I don't have a smaller rack to put them on. I didn't have buttermilk so made some with milk and lemon juice. The wife thought they were a bit too "rub" tasting, I think next time I...

The paint never really...

    Sandblast seasoned UDS?

    I don't like how the paint turned out - can I sandblast the whole thing? Will the media stick to the seasoning coat?

    Can I season my drum?

    I got a new 30 gallon from Zoro tools (rust inhibitor lining) and did a burnout along with a weed burner on the outside. The outside matched what I've seen others looks like but what about the inside. I rain a wire brush over it and it's still mostly a dull black. Am I okay to season or does it...

    First smoke done - now have questions

    Okay, so I built my mini WSM and seasoned it using Kingsford briquettes that I had for dutch ovens. My wife asked if I was gonna make anything but as I looked we only really had some ground turkey so I figured what the heck and filled it with cheese and wrapped it with Jeff's rub and bacon. This...

    Hello from a new hopeful - first smoke with pics and ?s

    Hello! I'm new to smoking but love grilling. A few friends have UDS and have urged me to get into this addiction and I caved. I'm going with a mini WSM build so any help for guidance is appreciated. I don't have much time to smoke but I'm hoping to make it a regular weekend activity. I do have...
