    UDG questions

    I had a buddy cut a 3" long pipe in half and weld them onto my charcoal basket which then hangs off the bolts for the lower grate. I also use a Weber lid.

    Cure Question??

    I'm not really sure what you mean by "force the slacking" My plan was to dethaw in the fridge, dissolve cure #1 in water & add it to the sausage, stuff, leave in fridge overnight to cure then smoke in my little chief @ 160* untill done @ 150* internal temp & hopefully not make anyone sick.

    Cure Question??

    I made fresh (no cure) bulk andouille sausage last week and froze it. I was wondering if I could unfreeze some of it, add a cure, stuff it and then smoke it. Or does the cure have to be added when it's made? Any input is much appreciated.

    How Do You Like Your Brisket?

    I like mine pulled or sliced thin, chopped up with some sauteed onions & au jus on a toasted garlic bun covered with cheese.

    Jerky help with the whole temp issue

    I use a cure also and smoke @ 150 for 4-7 hours depending on how thick the slices are and how dry I want the jerky. I also always store in the fridge. Never had a complaint or someone get sick. I'm no expert but I dont think 40-140* in 4 hours guideline is used for cured meat.

    Butts and ribs

    I just did a 10 hour smoke on a 8# butt in a UDS this last Saturday. Other than opening it up to do some twice smoked potatoes I could have slept through the whole thing. Started with 2 chimneys of unlit briquettes and 4 peices of maple added 1/2 chimney of burning briquettes on top. Shut it...

    Are These Drums Safe For A UDS?

    I wouldn't use anything that still had fumes after being burnt out. I would like to know why it seams to be acceptable to use old propane tanks but not old oil barrels? The chemical they use to make propane smell is toxic.
