    Snack Stick Questions

    Hey All, I have attempted snack sticks a few time with mediocre success.  In hindsight, I think I smoked the sticks too hot on my UDS, where I struggle to keep temps under 190.  Anyhow, I am ready to take another crack at it.  Since my last attempt, I have added a cold smoke generator to my...

    I got the itch..

    So I had a cookout the other day and used my gas grill to cook up a bunch of food for some friends.  After about three beers, I had a epiphany, why am I cooking on gas...  Anyhow I am currently in the process of building an UDS and am trying to get my dad to bequeath me his extra large big green...

    UDS Question

    Greetings! I am planning on building my first UDS.  I ordered a Big Pappa Smoker Kit for most of the parts but want to make some modifications in order to improve the efficiency of the unit.  My main concern is that the air inlets on the bottom of the Big Pappa Smoker kit are sliding units...
