    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.

    First smoke on new USD Q-View

    I thought I had read that here somewhere but now I cant find it. It was something like done @ 170* but more tender @ 190-200*. Did there used to be a Sticky for pork ribs? What is the correct temp? Thanks

    First smoke on new USD Q-View

    Spare ribs trimmed St Louis style. Covered in mustard and lightly rubbed. Smoked @ about 230* for 7.5 hours until thickest part measured 190*. No foil, I didn't want it fall off the bone and it turned out perfect. I love the new drum, so much more flavor than with the electric smoker and easier...

    New UDS Build

    Ribs turned out great. Cant believe how easy the temp was to control & extremely fuel efficient. Doubt I'll ever use the electric Char Broil smoker again. Thanks to everyone for all the info provided here!! Heres some pics of the finished product. I'll post more in the pork section later.

    New UDS Build

    I did two burns and then hosed out all the ash. It took about a half hour to completely dry in the sun and was covered in a light surface rust. I sanded out all the rust from the inside and coated it with vegetable oil. The next day I re oiled the inside and did my seasoning burn. Next day...
