    Retired the UDS for a Kamado Joe....First smoke had to be a brisket! (PIC HEAVY)

    I think you may be right.  My UDS was good but I think this KJ is better.  I will decide on my next smoke.  I may try some ribs and then a pork butt.....if all goes as planned that will be a lot of beer time :)

    Retired the UDS for a Kamado Joe....First smoke had to be a brisket! (PIC HEAVY)

    Thanks guys. Wife wants the back patio to be cleaned up. So ill keep the Kamado and my Weber Performer. I think I can possibly squeeze 4 butts on it with the elevated rack option but it would be tight. I may change my mind if I can think of somewhere to store the ole UDS out of sight.

    Retired the UDS for a Kamado Joe....First smoke had to be a brisket! (PIC HEAVY)

    Picked up a lightly used Kamado Joe this past week, so had to give it a go this weekend.  Trimmed, mustard lathered and then seasoned a packers brisket then threw back in the fridge for 24-48 hours until I was ready.  Planned on starting really early on Friday since I was off, but drank too much...

    First Brisket ever.....SUCCESS (w/ lots of Q-View)!

     those look great!!!  Regarding the foiling, the general opinion or conclusion that I came to is use it if you need it.  Either way, the brisket will turn out great....I love me some bark though.

    First Brisket ever.....SUCCESS (w/ lots of Q-View)!

    Right at 12 hours.  I didnt open it but once at 8 hrs to probe quickly though and it was 175.  If I would have wrapped it would have been faster of course.

    First Brisket ever.....SUCCESS (w/ lots of Q-View)!

    Thanks guys. Regarding the splits, it works great.  I just fill the basket with coals and then put the 2 small logs on the top op the coals and then drop my 8-12 lit coals in the middle of the basket.  Lasted the 12 hours with no problem and had constant smoke the entire time.  Might not be the...

    Round 2 on the UDS - Pork Butt

    It went on at 6:30 AM and was off and in the ice chest all wrapped up around 4:45, so a little over 10 hours.  I let it rest for an hour and then opened the foil and gave it 15 mins to breath and then pulled bone and chopped.  I havent tried that sauce yet, but I take it that it is good stuff?

    Round 2 on the UDS - Pork Butt

    First cook of yard bird was a hit that I decided to try a longer smoke, so yesterday I was up at 5 to fire up the UDS.  Rubbed the 10lb butt the night before and let it rest overnight.  Filled the basket to the top with coals and put 2 small pecan logs in there.  By 6:30, the butt was on and UDS...

    A nice way to secure your ball valve to the UDS for us non-welders

    Swung my my local Fastenal and got some stainless steel washers to replace the zinc coated ones with.  All better! http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/detail.ex?sku=71031&ucst=t

    Nice work, I see the washers :)  I went to Fastenal today and picked up some stainless steel ones for $1.09 each.  Put them on the inside of the drum.
