Well Friends, I'm here to help get you on the path...

Firstly, you'll need a trusty DrumPit...also known as an Ugly Drum Smoker, or UDS for short...
This'uns mine...nice ain't it?

Secondly, you'll need a firm grasp of how to's and why for's...
I'd suggest you spend a little time perusing this lil' gem, writ up by a sketchy character, for sure...

Now that you've gotten your fill of knowledge, time's a wastin' let's burn some foodstuffs...
Get your charcoal basket loaded and ready...

Light up some charcoal in a chimney...

Let it ash over a bit...

Then dump it in a neat pile on top of that charcoal basket...

Close it up and let it come up to your target temp....

Get your cooking grates ready....these are mine, multi tiered for ease of stacking different levels of food...

Make sure that when the target temp is achieved, there's also clean
smoke to cook with...

Bad Smoke...give it some more time to clean up...

The Kielbasa won't take long to be ready, about an hour...

I took them off and put on some Nekkid Fattys...here they are two and a half hours later @ 170* internal, ready to come off...and look at those beans....nice..

Awesome! How bout some details on those beans

14 bean mix, soaked over night.
Rinsed then placed into pot and covered with
2 inches of water with the addition of 1 sweet onion,
two stalks of celery, 1 carrot and 2 roma tomatoes all fine chopped.
2 bay leaves and seasoned with a few shakes of Yard Bird.
 
Nice tutorial Nate. I think you've got it down....and those beans look glorious!

BTW, I didn't realize the Sun moved so fast in NC.
 
Photobucket, (those Punks), just informed me I'm almost out of bandwidth so's

Awesome! A baked bean recipe that doesn't start with "open two cans ..." :thumb:

I'll have to give it a shot.
 
Fantastic work as usual N8!

I still proudly sport my "Ugly Drum Beautiful BBQ" shirt. :thumb:
