    How did you come up with your screen name?

    Don't remember if I posted this before there are so many posts. I sold and was a salesman for an Auto Parts Wholesaler for 46 years, hence the handle both on the forums as well as back in the CB days "Peddler".

    3-2-1 method

    OK ... Here is how I was taught ( and have nothing but good compliments) to prepare the ribs. First prepare the ribs by pulling the membrane. Second slather mustard or olive oil (I use mustard) to use as a binder and then generously apply your dry rub. Wrap and put in fridge for at least 12...

    3-2-1 method

    Did two racks this weekend, 3_2_1 method, after 3 hours wrapped and basted with 8oz apple juice per rack.... Used the top rack of a two rack UDS. Never used a rib rack, have no reason.

    Quick air flow Querry

    Be interested to know how much restriction and if one could step up the pipe size and regain that which is lost. In realty the ball valve even restricts some.

    Perceived airflow prob on my UDS

    OK guys humor me on this post if you will. Trying to fix a perceived airflow problem on my UDS that was built by Norco's recommended plans back at the first of the thread. 1) I am using a cheap grill pan as an ash pan, I felt the lip on the pan restricted air to the basket so I drilled 24 1"...

    Can't maintain heat

    OK to add to this thread... I cooked my first brisket yesterday on my 6 mo. old UDS. I really wasn't real satisfied with the results. !) Didn't have a proper smoke ring as far as I was concerned (mostly my fault as I didn't have an adequate supply of chips) 2) I didn't like the consistency of...

    Can't maintain heat

    Chico, you may also want to check the reading on you thermometer. Calibrate it in a pan of water at boiling (212*).

    OTS (Off The Shelf) and super cheap UDS Build

    I did once (threaded nipple) but just don't tighten it all that much and grease the threads.... The basket for a dollar? give it a try. If not enough holes drill a few more.

    OTS (Off The Shelf) and super cheap UDS Build

    Let's see if this non expert can answer some questions 1. Mags will be fine for the inlets with no ball valve , save beer money for pipe nipples and ball valve to add later. 2. They prob do loose a bit over time ( see 1 ). It won't get hot enough to melt them. 3. Try looking around at an...

    Dry Run

    Dry Run

    That was a dry run and never having had a UDS before I really didn't know what to expect. A few days later we did two racks of ribs,, set the ball valve @ 1/3 and 1 capo open and it ran @ 225 for 6 hours steady.
