IMHO the taste of meat cooked on a UDS is different that that of a stick burner. The UDS gives more of open pit type of flavoring and the stick burner has a more clean wood smoke flavor. We use UDS's to cook competition with and started using foil pans to cut down on the open pit type flavor and give the meat a cleaner taste. The increase in our scores showed this to be true. But all that being said when I cook at home we love the open pit flavor that the UDS gives and use no foil pans .
Hope this helps
Jim
