Big poppa drum smoker

[WREIS]

Did a brisket the other day. Had a big grease fire in the drum. Would a diffuser or water bowl help. Any suggestions would be great

My opinion would be to use a water pan under your meat to catch the grease you can cook directly over the pan then move it to the side and cook a little to get a little of the sear. Diffusers will work also but you have to cook hot enough to let the jucie evaporate when it hits the plate. I would try it both ways on something with a shorter cook and see how it works out.

I always add a foil pan big enough to catch the drippings. Never had a grease fire.

I use a diffuser and NEVER had a grease fire in my UDS. I have some bigger holes and smaller holes. Maybe thats why? I dont know.

Is there an access door for adding wood mid-smoke without taking the food out?
