I do love my UDS and it's set it and forget it mentality, but I could not believe the hamburger I ate last night. There's something about hot smoke, convecting without vents on top, that gave it a very different and delicious flavor. Can't wait to try ribs or brisket on it.
My cheap Master Forge bullet type smoker came with no vent on top--it would have vented where the dome would have connected, poorly, to the smoker body, if I'd left that part as it was. This makes me wonder if I should have given it a try that way first, before putting an oven rope on it and drilling holes in the top.
