The meatloaf looks awesome! I think you helped me decide what to smoke this weekend :grilling_smilie::grilling_smilie: -
Charcoal Type?
I use Kingsford blue bag as well. Typically stock up for the year when it's on sale. The flood soaked 300# and it got shoveled into waste containers. Found some Royal Oak lump on sale using that right now. I think I still prefer the Kingsford.- jay6896

UDS Plans Needed
Nice build. Personally tho I would have mounted the thermometer between the top 2 racks but I guess where you cook most is the ideal place. I get the rustic look with the stick, just looks odd to me. I can't decide if it's the contrast or that it sticks out beyond the smoker. You're going to...- jay6896

UDS Build
Nice looking UDS. I used magnets over the holes in mine. Typically with the exhaust wide open and 1 1/4" hole wide open for air I can maintain 300 easily. I typically run at 250-275. I love mine. ENJOY!!- jay6896

Not what I was expecting when I opened this up but a nice smoker. That thing should last a lifetime! Do you like the way it cooks? One of my most favorite things about my UDS is that it is a fuel miser. It appears that your fuel door has a good seal based on the photo with it smoking. If so, you...- jay6896

Ribs, they are hard to beat on a nice sunny day.
Fantastic job on the ribs! For the first time this weekend I did a rack on the UDS , unwrapped. Still very good but not quite as juicy as the wrapped version. My motto when cooking is I do them like I want to and I hope you enjoy them.
