Thanks Mark! That was my first cook on a UDS. The Ribs were very moist
but, they were done to the point that they were falling off the bone.
I used the 3-2-1 method. I think that I could have cut the time spent in the foil down a little.

That ugly thing is the Prototype for the next one.
Looking for a good drum now with a crimped top as opposed to the rolled lip which should fit the Weber lid better.

I used the 3-2-1 method. @ what temp?

I haven't seen this yet and I've read this entire thread three times.
You're right, I have no life!

Anyway, thought I'd share with ya. I have since put a pail bail on it,
easy to remove. 3/4"expanded on the bottom, 1/2" expanded on the sides.
I will get one of those cheap $8.00 grills from Academy
and affix it to the bottom of the box if it will fit.
That bottom opening idea sounds good in theory but it is a PIA.

PS: Thanks Norco and others for all of your suggestions.

Weiser, just curious is that milk crate galvanized???

Weiser · 02-09-2009, 08:49 PM

Sure is Barbarian!
Well it was... burned the hell out of it, good to go now. Really.

There seems to be a lot of attention paid to galvanized components on this board. I really don't know if the concerns are justified or not.
The Science doesn't appear to support the fear.

I've been eating out of a galvanized trash can for thirty years and
am still here. I maybe a bit goofey nowadays but I think it is just
a matter of getting older.

I did some loin ribs on my UDS the other night. 3 hours at 230 degrees and they were perfectly done. No foil.

Weiser · 02-09-2009, 09:53 PM

JG, I have a feeling that those would be just about perfect.
I'll have to make some adjustments next time.
How moist were they?

Has anyone tried one of these?
They lock down tight. I would think that with the addition of a knob
that it may work pretty well.

Only time i use my ring is when i'm traveling.

If you remove the lid gasket, a locking ring doesn't help much anyhow.

Unless you have done the "Trash man Slam" on your drum and it's out of round.
Don't ask me how I know.

Time to bring up the Thirdeye Hoe Scoop for those too lazy to read all 2381 post.

The current drum has been slammed Norco.
I found new canola oil drums with this clamp for 30 Bucks today on CL.

Just purchased a Pooper Scooper.
Not as cool as the Thirdeye model but it does work well.
I have read the entire thread three times and never saw this style of clamp mentioned. Hence the question. :)

Always good to bring stuff up. Wish I had such a clamp for my first one. I welded a Harbor Freight vice grip clamp to the threaded ring that came with mine (like the one Thirdeye/DR KY posted recently). Works good but clap ring would be the ticket.

Beerwolf · 02-10-2009, 08:35 PM

I have 2 with that clamp on it... Im going to try the first for a bottom clean out. im giving it to someone else to see if it works!
