    Bacon cold smoked vs hot

    Not sure if this goes here or in hot smoked bacon. Please move it if appropriate. Thanks! This is the first time I’ve done a hot smoke on bacon. One batch to 150, the other to 155. Hickory on both. I’ve sliced and fried a little of it as a test. Taste is good— not a lack of flavor, just a...

    Only use some burners Blackstone

    Thanks! That makes more sense than leaving the unused ones cold. I noticed all the angle iron and fins. I figured it was to stabilize things and maybe help spread the heat.

    UDS turkey gravy

    That’s what I was afraid of. Thanks for the response. From what I’ve read in posts here, 325 or so should give me a crispyish skin?

    UDS turkey gravy

    “Cook it down”? Not sure I understand exactly what you mean. Like put it in a saucepan with liquid and simmer it for awhile? How do I know how long to let it go! Sorry— I can be a bit dense.

    UDS turkey gravy

    Looks like I’m doing the turkey in the UDS this year. Getting a lot of good info from the forums, so thanks to all those that have posted in the past. I’m not finding a definite answer as to gravy when smoking a turkey. Will a catch pan a shelf below the turkey catch enough juices to make...
