    Pulled Pork QVIEW (last weekend)

    pulled pork sauce kcbs

    that's what i was thinking, but you never hear of a sweet kansas city style finishing sauce. didn't know if one even existed. I just thought it might be something to try to give a bit of an edge on pork. I've never tried to thin out bbq sauce so didn't know if that just makes it taste...

    St. Louis style ribs...QVIEW!

    Thanks Cman, we are trying to figure out a way to position the ribs to get a good view of the top but also being able to see the smoke ring. It's amazing how determined one can get when it comes to putting meat in a styro box with lettuce haha.

    First Brisket on UDS

    Well I'm using a weber lid and it's just a tad loose. I also had to do some doctoring on the barrel when i made it, it had some dents at the top. The lid doesn't fit like a lid would from a new barell, like i said just a little loose. I can see smoke barely puffing from the edge in certain...

    First Brisket on UDS

    Hey thanks alot everybody. I do have a question though. I obviously used way too much coal. My uds is still at 190* after 35 hrs of burn and all vents have been closed since 10 last night. This also means that my uds doesn't seal off completely. Should I worry about this or not? I was...

I should have wrapped a little earlier, didn't get to it till 175*. The burnt ends turned out great. Now I need to work on slicing and getting a...
