Im a new UDS user also, and can relate to your issue. I also did dry runs, a few of them, 3 actually before using a 2 pound shoulder. Stay calm, dont over adjust things, or you will never get it under control. i also suggest lighting only 8 maybe 9 briquets to start it, anymore than that i feel makes the heat rise to quickly and without knowing your drum to well will get out of control fast. I learned this when i seasoned my drum. And you have prime air control with ball valves, my UDS has magnets that curl when they get warm and they are propped up with sticks (im fixing this) and i did my first small butt fine, i think. You'll get it i though i wasnt going to either but its coming around.
