    Brine for Cornish Hens?

    I can't tell you how long I've been looking for this recipe!!! I used it a few years ago and it worked flawlessly. To date, it is the best chicken I've ever made. I had accidentally forgotten the buttermilk and let the brine solution cool as I went to the store to get the buttermilk. By the...

    Hi guys! I have a few days and I want some opinions for my first cook.

    This is my first smoke ever. And it will be on my UDS. I've cooked on grills and Weber Kettles but its always with heat on one side and food cooking with indirect heat. This will be the first time I'm actually smoking something. I'm going with two racks. Might do multiple items and see how that...

    my first ugly drum smoker

    I completely agree! Only reason I decided to tackle the lined drum was impatience. I've been so excited to finally start this build and get my own drum that I took it regardless.

    Hi guys! I have a few days and I want some opinions for my first cook.

    I'm building my UDS now and will post on that when it's all done and said, but I am stuck on what to cook first. I'll probably break her in this weekend if I can wait longer than Friday. What are you guys' thoughts on a first smoke? Bring in the ideas.

    Hello all! I'm officially no longer a lurker. :D

    My name is Josh. From the great country that is Texas! Live south of Houston near Lake Jackson/Freeport area. This is my first big step into smoking. Before now I've Q'd low and slow but want to jump into briskets and larger cuts of meat. Always looking to try new methods and make myself a...

    my first ugly drum smoker

    I'm starting my UDS build as well. Good thing you didn't get a lined food grade barrel like I did. Spent the last couple nights inside the barrel cleaning that stuff out. it was rough. Finally finished it last night. I'll post a new thread with all the pictures and what worked for me here in a...
