Here comes my 15.67 LB monster brisket. I rubbed it down with my rub. It will rest untill tomorrow night. Depending on what the rain does here. Will determine if I use my UDS or MES 40. I would prefer to use the UDS if the rain holds off. More to come.
Happy smoken.

It is going to have to be tied for the MES. Not sure about the UDS. It is suppose to storm here tomorrow. The MES is in my shop. So it would be dry. I hope the weather allows for the UDS. I will just wait and see what happens.
Happy smoken. David

It is going to rain some with strong winds. I'm going to fire up 5he UDS. I hope it will hold temperature ok. If it gets a little cool. That will be fine. I'm cooking for Saturday. I am using KB with apple and hickory. More to come.
Happy smoken.

The brisket went on at 7:00. The temp dropped to 200. All vents are open. I'll let it get up to temperature. Then start closing down the bottom vents. More to come.
Happy smoken.

Farmer. The first cook I did on this UDS was a overnight brisket. I dialed in the temperature and went to bed. Slept like a baby. Temp was still good the next morning.

I do need to remake my fire basket with bigger expanded metal. To let the ash fall out better on a long smoke.

Looks nice, I'll be watchin for the rest of the Q view show for sure ! Thumbs Up :sausage:

I have a big poppa smoker basket. No problem there.

 

[themule69]

I don't have a basket/temperature problem till after 10 or so hours of unattended. Then it slowly starts to loose temperature. I have done a 18 hour smoke and still had fuel.

At 8:00 AM I added more KB this is the 13 hour mark. It is 159 degrees IT. Looking good so far. Glad I went with the UDS. More to come.
Happy smoken.
