What type/brand fuel do you use in your UDS? I'm getting too much creosote with Stubs 100% hardwood briquettes.
I use Lump wood. The brand I have been buying is Frontier. During the summer you can get a 40lb bag for $15 at Sams club. I love this stuff. Nice big pieces and it lasts a long time.
I guess I can't really say. I have only used briquettes once and for the price it was a no brainer for me to switch to the frontier lump. I love the way it burns I have never had an issue with it getting too hot.I use Lump wood. The brand I have been buying is Frontier. During the summer you can get a 40lb bag for $15 at Sams club.

Does it burn any hotter than briquettes? I use lump in my side burner but it seems I remember reading it was suggested to use briquettes since the drums can be trouble to keep the temps from getting to hot.
My favorite is Humphery Lump, in a pinch its Royal Oak Lump, mainly light briqs in the chimney to use as a fire starter
