Old Pizza pan

Drilled a hole every 120 degrees on the rim of the pan and inserted the hanger.

The pan will be clipped to the underside of the grate in 3 places and hang there.

Test run is tomorrow with Pulled Pork. First time using Stubb's rub.

Great idea. Keep us posted on the results. I've tried Stubbs Basting sauce and BBQ sauce but haven't seen his rubs unless I just overlooked them somehow.
 
Thanks for the heads up...at what time am I invited?:becky:

1500 central european time :thumb:

To diffuse the drippings more evenly on the coals? Is that the idea?

I like the flavor the UDS direct cooking style provides but it can be overpowering. I hope this will reduce but not eliminate the flavor a bit.

It looks a bit like the porkneck that I use.....not sure though.

The packaging says "Boston Butt/Pork Shoulder Boneless". It's a small butt, 2.5lbs. In Europe the butt is known as pork neck or schweinenacken/schweinekam (German). The cut is used for roasts and steaks.

Hope you get the results you want. How was the Stubbs?
 
Nice looking pork! I'm so dang hungry right now. Genius idea for the diffuser. I went simple on mine by just laying a foil wrapped pizza stone on top of my fire basket. I like having it in there. Made my temps so much more even. Love the method you came up with for hanging the diffuser. Very nice.

The Stubbs was ok, maybe it didn't penetrate enough because I vacuum sealed the butt?

The clips will make it easy to remove for cleaning. I tried foil before but still wanted some of the f"at dripped on coals" flavor.

Done!

The diffuser was a success. The temps were steady 225 - 250. Had to make a few adjustments during the 5 hr cook. The UDS flavor was still there!! I'll have to try it again with some ribs and brisket.
Thanks for the comments.
