    Barrel smoker question

    Mine run out the bottom with no issues. I had the same question about the 90° with the long tube would slow the air flow but it seems that there is a lot of them built that way with no issues. I think if I ran upright tubes I would run a larger diameter pipe.

    What am i doing wrong?!

    I would try using less lit coals. Like 6-10. When it gets close to 200 close the intake vents and see what happens.

    Brisket with butcher paper dissapointment

    I had this happen to me a few months ago. I typically cook briskets in my offset so the brisket is fat side up. This time I cooked it in the uds so I put it fat side down and when I unwrapped the paper some of the brisket stuck to it. Still haven't figured out what happened.

    Picked up a Weber 26. Smoked a brisket.

    I added the charcoal unlit. Brought the temp down to 300 for a few minutes then it was back up to temp. Not sure if that's the correct way to do it but it seemed to do the trick.

    Picked up a Weber 26. Smoked a brisket.

    So I bit the bullet and picked up a 26" Weber to add to the cooker collection. What better way to try it out than throw a brisket on it. Picked up choice brisket. after trimming I seasoned with kosher salt, coarse pepper, garlic powder, and a little Cayenne. Put my charcoal baskets to one side...

    Wrap or Nekkid????

    I think I'm becoming lazier these days because I used to wrap. Now ribs and butts go unwrapped with great results. Planning to do a brisket this weekend which will be the first time going unwrapped. Always have used foil or butcher paper so we shall see how it turns out. What I've noticed is...

    Weber 26" or Weber 22 with Cajun bandit ext.

    Not really interested in the rotisserie. For the 22 I was looking at the smoker conversion kit. Basically a spacer with a charcoal ring and deflector plate. Essentially acting like a UDS. Im looking to use it as a grill for the most part but also want to have the ability to smoke on it. So on...

    Weber 26" or Weber 22 with Cajun bandit ext.

    Does the vortex work as well in a 26 as it does in a 22?

    Weber 26" or Weber 22 with Cajun bandit ext.

    Ok so like most I can't seem to have enough grills/smokers laying around. Well my old chargriller I use for grilling is about to give up on me. So for my next grill I'm sold on a Weber, although if I'm going to buy a grill I may as well make sure I can smoke on it if need be. So my question for...

    Had a bad Sunday brisket cook. Opinions please.

    I use a meat thermometer to probe for tenderness. I don't pay to much attention to internal temp, but it was flashing 205° or more while probing for tenderness

    I vac sealed what was left... So it will definitely get used.... I do love pulled beef Sammies and burnt ends so not all is lost.

    Had a bad Sunday brisket cook. Opinions please.

    It's the same butcher paper. I didn't spritz the brisket or pour any juices when I wrapped either. Possibly just the moisture from the brisket inside the tightly wrapped paper caused it to steam inside then... Looks like chilli is gonna be on the menu this week.

    Had a bad Sunday brisket cook. Opinions please.

    Well after some years of cooking briskets and having fairly good results, I laid an egg last night. After searching around the internet trying to figure out where I went wrong I believe I have gotten myself more lost. Anyways onto the cook Cooked it same as I always have only difference being...

    Mastrbuilt 40" DOA

    Sorry to hear about the bad luck... This may sound dumb but have you been plugging it into the same plug in. The reason I ask is when I had an mes 30 the thing worked great.... But there was one plug in the garage that would always shut off the mes 30. The house was built in the 70s and had the...

    UDS pan or no pan for drippings

    Since this post I have added a diffuser due to the temp in the center being much higher than temp towards the outside.

    UDS consistent temp. Need help, opinions, etc.

    I followed daveomacks advice and added more exhaust. Worked like a charm. I added another 2 inch exhaust pipe and it runs great. Only other thing I've had to do was add a heat diffuser (pizza pan with holes) after noticing my temp gauge on the barrel and a grate thermometer in the middle were...
