Full Fledged Farker
I recently ordered the Pitmaster iQue110 smoker controller for my UDS. (If you plan to order one use coupon code bubbaboard for $20 off)
It was on back order when I purchased but I knew that and I got it before they said I would so I was happy.
Came well packaged
For $132 shipped to my door it came with everything needed to run my UDS
(this slid perfectly over my 3/4" pipe nipple and attached to the hose great)
Also came with instructions (I didn't even read them :icon_blush
So for the first run I took a 6lb butt and seasoned it up and let it sit in the garage fridge overnight
When I got home from work in the morning (I work midnights) I gathered up everything and set up the UDS
Since I have no handles on my UDS I had no way to hang the iQue110 so I had to fabricate something real quick using scrap 2x4's and a few screws.
Loaded up the charcoal basket with Kingsford Competition (that I got for $2 a bag on clearance) and cherry wood.
Started half a chimney of charcoal
When it was ready I poured it in the charcoal basket and put that in the UDS.
Put the lid on and already I was getting some smoke.
Set the iQue to 235 (It was flashing green to show it was a low temp) and then threw the butt on.
I went to bed at this point and woke up 7 hours later to a solid green light on the iQue and a pit thermometer reading 235 on the button. I failed to get any further pics at this point as I got a little busy making beans and I still had to work that night :doh: Needless to say it held perfect temp for the 11 hours I needed it to and my butt came out perfect and was pulled great. Taste wise nothing new there but the fact that I didn't have to fiddle with the pit air intake and it was exactly at the temp I wanted was amazing.
All in all it was well worth the $132 and I am excited to use it again real soon.
