    multi colored high temp paint

    I saw it on google image search. I've got a buddy that's a Star Wars Freak. He loves to bbq over charcoal. I thought this would be a great way to introduce him to UDS cooking. I'll get his family to chip in a little & give it to him for his birthday. Question is where do I get the multi colored...

    How much Charcoal

    OK I've got my UDS done aside of adding the bottle opener. I tried to season it using a heating element from a Brinks electric smoker my folks bought me aq number of years ago. It only got to 170 degrees & didn't get hot enough to bake the cooking oil on. I finished my fire basket this morning...

    Stainless steel UDS

    I like , practically everyone on this site. Have been kicking around building a UDS. With the variance of a stainless steel drum. I've done a bit of shopping looks like a used one will cost me about $200. I live in SE SC & the humidity does a job on anything metal. I figured stainless would last...

    Minimalist rub

    Sometimes Less truly is more.................. A week ago I had a slab of baby-backs kind of an impulse buy.........they were on sale. Anyway I thought I'd try something different & since they were on sale if they weren't great less was to be lost. I didn't really want to go through the...

    More smoke!

    Okay before I get into my question, here's what I'm working with. I built a side smoker using the mailbox mod with an AMNS . I attached a fan from an old computer to help transfer the smoke from the mailbox to the smoker (a master built propane 2 door model) Had some issues with keeping the AMNS...

    AMNS wont stay lit

     Okay guys a little help here. I bought an AMNS 6X8, did the mailbox mod. The AMNS burnt for a bit then went out. I added a fan (from a computer) to the rear of the mail box assuming I wasn't getting enough air flow. It stays lit longer but eventually goes out. It's been quite damp here in...

    Gas Grill suggestions

    I Need a new gas grill........ The one I presently have is junk. I'm on a budget so I'm really looking for something under $300. I've looked over the offerings at Lowes & I like some of them but really only have experience with the truly low end ones. I like the looks of the cast grates, do they...

    Smokin' Chilli

     Hey Y'all  I did some baked beans a few months ago. They came out pretty good. Not certain the smoking had a lot to do with it however( I cheated & used Bush Beans). I got a pot of chilli in the slow cooker & I considered adding some smoke. How long would you smoke it & in what type cooking...

    Smoker Box

    I was displeased with the "Flame Disk Bowl" as it's referred to on my parts list for my MBPS so after a few experiments I found a cast iron smoker box on Amazon to use. Works pretty well on top of the flame disk thingy. An issue has arisen however. After a few cooks the original finish is gone...

    This could have gone a few places

     I liberated a number of burners from an old chow hall stove. I'm guessing they operated on natural gas. I fiddled with them for a time & even put one of the long ones in my gas grill. Didn't work as good as I would've liked (possible operator error). I'm not certain these will work well with...

    ABT's sometimes they ain't easy

     I've made atomic buffalo turds a few times. One time was exceptionally painful however. I picked up about 30 Jalapenos from Wally World They were quite potent. My eyes watered a bit as I was coring them. In the course of preparation I inadvertently touched my face just below my eye the pain was...
