    UDS Plans Needed

    The problem with what you're asking is that everyone has a different idea of ideal positioning. If all one smokes is ribs laying flat, having the top grate fairly close to the top of the drum is ideal. If someone else is wanting to smoke turkeys then the grate needs to be lower. I live in...

    Idea on how to add wood chips easier to a Masterbuilt smoker

    Looks like a little ingenuity solved your issues. I heat my house with a wood burning stove. The "shovel" that I use to clean out the ashes is the perfect size for what you're doing. I used it to add wood and coals to my 7-in-1 until I upgraded.

    Here is a great story (at least for me lol) for you all to read

    You have to do a cost vs reward breakdown. You said all you cook is fatties and jerky and you need the other smoker to do jerky, which in turn gets you more money so you could buy a BGE and have both sooner then if you kept the BGE. I don't know how big your operation is but personally I'd keep...

    4 hour or less cooks???

    Wow, that's an impressive lineup. That glass probably costs more then the whiskey I generally buy. Hard to be drinking while at work, though.

    4 hour or less cooks???

    I'm preparing food for them, they get what they get dang it. :) Tonight is smoked duck. I still had two left from last hunting season so time to use them.

    4 hour or less cooks???

    After looking over the beer can burgers, it seems to me they and fatties are essentially the same idea, it's just fatties are an all in one deal and beer can burgers are individual. Sort of like meatloaf vs meatballs. Am I correct in this thinking? O, and today one of the other guys made a...

    4 hour or less cooks???

    I honestly don't know what beef costs at the store here. We raise our own and I didn't remember in time last time we butchered to get a tri-tip so it probably went to burger. Might pick one up at the store just to see.

    4 hour or less cooks???

    Thanks everyone for the ideas. You definitely have given me enough to go off of for now. The guys (and one gal for now) will be happy.

    4 hour or less cooks???

    I haven't ever done a loin on the smoker. That's a good idea. Thank you.

    4 hour or less cooks???

    I guess I've always just looked at ABT's as a side dish. They are on the menu, though.

    4 hour or less cooks???

    I screwed up the other day and took my smoker to work and cooked the guys a fatty. Now they think we need to do this more often. My issue is I need to make sure whatever I take can be cooked in less then 4 hours so I'm looking for suggestions. So far my ideas have been: Fatties Brats or sausage...

    Rolled and smoked a fatty at work (no pics)

    I tried but it was pitch black outside. It was the first time I've been happy with the amount of cheese. I LOVE cheese and put almost an entire bag of shredded in it.

    Rolled and smoked a fatty at work (no pics)

    I work night shift and we are over staffed so there's always down time. Yesterday I decided I'd feed my co-workers and rolled a pizza fatty at home. I brought my mini with me to work and man did the guys love it. There was nothing special about this one. Wanted Italian sausage but the grocery...

    Pulled Pork First Time Ever!!!

    I don't wrap mine at all until they are done cooking. To test doneness I pull on the bone. If it'll come out without any meat on it then it's perfect. Also, I cook mine with the fat cap up. I don't know that it matters but my thought has always been that the fat could possibly drip through the...

    Fatty- Strike 2

    +1. I'll give points for this spot on advice. It sounds like your sausage isn't rolled tight enough. I will roll mine until it actually shrinks in length about an inch or two. It should almost be like an army bunk where you can bounce a quarter off of it.

    Wings on the mini

    PERFECT!!! That's exactly what i was looking for. B, these were AMAZING and would have been great with some Tony's.

    Wings on the mini

    Thanks Al. It was an amazing meal and one I'm going to do many more times. Case, thank you for the advice. Unfortunately with my Mini not being a normal mini in that I used a Char-Broil grill instead of Weber, I don't have vents in the right spot to use the side light. If I use my normal...

    Wings on the mini

    So this was supposed to be cooked Saturday afternoon. I mixed up a batch of creole butter and injected the wings about 3:30 Saturday afternoon. Since I'm using my mini and only need 6 briquettes lit, I tried a new homemade chimney out of a tin can. It didn't work. By 5:00 I realized there was no...
