Hi all! I have been a long time user of the UDS, but I am ready for a change. I am interested in a Pit Boss series 5 or a Masterbuilt 40 inch digital charcoal. Pit Boss is in the lead for it's ability to be set at 150. The Masterbuilt is tempting because I still love charcoal and wood chunks...
It's been forever since I've used my smoker for anything fun like pulled pork, but I had the rare 4 day weekend this week. First three days were wonderful and very productive with mowing, tree trimming and general clean up with the occasional outing on the motorcycle. So day 4 is a day to relax...
Been forever and a day since I've been around. My smoker is neglected, but every chance I get I still help out anyone that asks for help or suggestions when it comes to our beloved sport of smoking meat. As a matter of fact in the last month I've pointed 2 people to this site so they can get a...
So I decided to make a family favorite. Hab pineapple hot sauce. It is one of 4 or 5 sauces that I make from time to time, but this is the most requested ! No added salt or sugar, which is good for me since my bp is high. I'd love to share the recipe but then I'd have to kill you
ok I know there are tons of formulas out there for all kinds of things related to smokers, but I'm not sure I have ever seen anything to help figure out how large of an exhaust one needs on the smoker.
Is there a rule of thumb or a formula for figuring this out?
Hey everyone, it's been a long time since I've dropped by and I sure do miss you all.
The new job I started last Sept is sucking the life out of me but at least I am working.
In celebration of Labor Day I've put off doing stuff that needs to be done, and have fired up the DUSD ( damn ugly...
ok I smoked my first brisky this weekend, and I'm not sure I'll ever do it again. It wasn't bad, but not nearly as good as pork!!
I took some artistic liberties with the point. I threw it back on the smoker for another 8 hours yesterday to make something like burnt ends. I did not cut the...
Original game plan was to get off work at 7am be home by 8 am fire up the smoker, season the brisket ( ok the original game plan called for that seasoning thing on fri but..sleep got in the way ) put on smoker and monitor for a few hours before catching some zzzzz's. It is now 11am and brisket...
Well I finally went and done it! I dropped by the store this morning after work and I just could not leave without taking home a brisket. I've been threatening to do one of these for a long time and with the weather getting better and the price being pretty fair, I had no choice. It was like...
Howdy all and Merry Christmas. My smoker has been lonely since I started my new job back in Sept but Wed is looking promising for a pork loin roast !!! I gotta pick up a new therm as I left mine outside and fried it in the rain..ooops!
Hope you all have a great holiday weekend with family...
I was out fillin up the beast!
Those sideboards I built from scrap lumber sure are payin off!
It was a beautiful day for workin in the woods. Too bad I didn't run across some hickory but as soon as it dries out a bit more I have 2 mulberry trees to work up for next summers smoking.
I got a nice surprise at work, I get this weekend off!!! Then I'll start the normal 7 on 2 off rotation.
I'm not gonna let this weekend escape without some Q! I picked up 2 slabs of spares for $1.50/lb yesterday so I'm prepping them for the UDS.
So now you know whats in my smoker...whats in...
Celebrating the beginning of a new job and probably the last 3 day weekend I'll have in a very long time !
I couldn't let this weekend pass without firin up the smoker. I have a 4.5lb but goin on soon and if all goes well I should get to enjoy it with some close friends of ours this evening...
ok I've been hunting for a new job for a while now, on July 12 I finally got a bite and began the hoop jumping required to seal the deal. I start Monday!!!!
Qview will be at a minimum for a month or two as we re adjust ( aka catch up on bills ) and get settled into a new life schedule ( going...
went to my dad's place today to work up a small apple that got blown over in a recent storm. the largest chunks are 3" diam and goes down to about 1" before I called the rest of it brush. I cut the larger dia section into 2-3" chunks and the smaller sticks I cut between 4 and 8". I got just...
Is there any way we can make this a sticky so we can find it for fast ref? I'm sure there may be a few others that should be "stickied" as well.
Just a thought.

Just wonderin what all the fuss is about? More even temp over std offsets? I have this heavy duty brinkman that I thought maybe I could mod, just wasn't sure why I should.
Also...and I'm surprised this hasn't been done yet...can someone make a wiki with the RF calculator links ??

Well I finally got around to playing with homemade brats today, I used a kit from Sausage Source that came with 4 different seasoning packs that each will do 5lbs of meat. The kit also included casings as well and was a decent price if you don't figure in shipping !
We tried the plain ole brat...
Neighboring town held a Q contest this weekend, so I went down and checked it out. It was interesting to a point. Lotta WSM being used but only one team had UDS smokers and they were using 3 of em. The guys with the lesser investment seemed to be enjoying themselves more and more willing to...
