    Temp controller questions

    I’m looking to build a PID temp controller for my UDS and I have a few questions. I have it all figured out and everything but when looking for a PID I noticed they all seem to only read to 212 degrees. Will a different probe change that, or do I need to spring for an expensive one? The one I’m...

    Super Bowl Sunday smoke!

    Yeah some people get all fancy with it. Mine just has 3 one inch holes spaced evenly around. Two have a 1” OD close iron pipe nipple to a 90 elbow then a 1” OD pipe that comes up about 2 feet. The third is just a 1” OD close iron pipe nipple to a ball valve so I can dial in the temps better...

    UDS temp issues

    Yeah once I thought about it I realized the top exhaust only regulates flow and not temps so I just opened it all the way and only started messing with the intake.

    UDS temp issues

    Thanks for the reply guys. I finally just closed everything on it until the temp dropped and and then opened the ball valve back up a tiny bit at a time until I got it where I wanted it. I think my issue was that I got it too hot to begin with so it just stayed hot. I lit about half my chimney...

    UDS temp issues

    Built me a UDS and well I cannot keep it below 255. I have the ball valve BARELY open, I mean like an 1/8th inch gap. I also have the exhaust in my Weber grill top almost all the way closed. If I do anymore than what I have now I won't have any flow. Luckily I'm not actually smoking anything...

    First Pork Butt

    I never wrap mine. I feel like it's useless. But that's just my $.02

    Temp problems.

    I'm smoking a 5 pound butt and havent had any issues at all until I noticed the temp of the butt dropping from 194 to 192. Any idea why it's going down? And before you all comment on how I should have pulled it at 190 or so, I always smoke mine to 203 before I pull it, just a personal...

    Masterbilt smoker not coming up to temp.

    Well the problem is the temp was so low when I first started that I'm not sure when it will be done.

    Masterbilt smoker not coming up to temp.

    I honestly think it's just the outside temp that's giving me the issue. It's chilly and rainy out so its just hard to keep heat even when blocked from the wind. I'm sticking at around 220 now so I guess I'll just let it smoke and see where I get.

    Masterbilt smoker not coming up to temp.

    I dumped the water and blocked everything from the wind and my temp spiked to 230 not it went back down and is fluctuating between 210 and 220. I'll just let it keep going and pull it later and finish it in the oven if need be.

    Masterbilt smoker not coming up to temp.

    Yeah I blocked the wind and that's keeping me about 210 but I didn't know about the water. I'll dump it and see if that helps.

    Masterbilt smoker not coming up to temp.

    I have a rack of ribs in the smoker and it will not come up to temp. I even have the temp set at 270 and my maverick thermometer is only reading a max of 212 then it will drop back below 200.

    Mailbox Mod Question

    Ok well when I hit the stall I'm going to wrap my brisket in foil. I'm not sure why people keep commenting on this when we are all still just going to do it the way we want anyway.

    Look at all that smoke!

    Exactly. My food tastes great so I'm going to keep doing what I do. I'm getting personal messages now telling me I'm over smoking my food and I'm doing this and that wrong and honestly it's getting really annoying. I understand some of you people have been smoking since before I was born and I...

    Mailbox Mod Question

    Someone along the way misinterpreted what I said. I didn't mean that everyone foiled and that's the only way to do it. I just mean that when you hit the stall the fastest way to get past it is to foil.
