    DIY Cold Smoke Generator - CHEAP

    About a month ago, I built an Ugly Drum Smoker.  Great experience and I have been able to produce some amazing BBQ.  One of the challenges of a UDS is that it's hard to add any extra smoke once you have started cooking.  I should mention that I use a diffuser plate, which essentially blocks any...

    UDS - Offset Smoker Flavor

    Do you know if it is possible to get more of an offset smoker flavor from an Ugly Drum Smoker.  I'm talking about more of a Texas smokehouse flavor.  My UDS has only been finished for a few days and I have only done one brisket.  I did notice that the juice and fat dripping onto the charcoals...

    Pit Barrel Cooker Question

    Some pictures from today.  The first UDS brisket turned out amazing!  Very juicy, tender, and full of flavor.  Also a pretty respectable smoke ring, which became more apparent after letting it sit for a few minutes.  Afterward, since the UDS was still hot, I smoked a few chicken breasts prior to...

    Pit Barrel Cooker Question

    Interesting.  You could be right.  Today, I started with more charcoal and gave it longer to heat up before dumping the hot ones into the basket.  It's been running noticeably hotter than last night.  For a while, it was 250 or higher.  Then, after I closed it down a bit, it dropped into the...

    Pit Barrel Cooker Question

    Yesterday was the day for UDS seasoning as well as the inaugural smoke.  It held steady around 235 for several hours until I finally shut it down.  Kroger had chicken thighs for 69 cents a pound, so I smoked a couple of packs.  Everything turned out great.  I couldn't get the temp above about...

    First ever with UDS / charcoal

    Alright, so here's the newly finished UDS.  Far from perfect, but it should be good enough to do the job.  I'm seasoning it up this afternoon and cooking a brisket tomorrow.  A little nervous as this will be my first time ever smoking with charcoal.  I've smoked more briskets that I can count on...
