UDS Build and Cook Pics
Here are pics of my UDS build and the first couple of cooks. Really lovin this UDS. Proud to be part of the club. BTW great forum. All other Q sites refer back to here for UDS info.
Sep 09: My neighbors think I'm crazy!! But she's already a beauty! It is hard to find drums in Germany, at least close by. Most have sealed tops and have oil in them or are too expensive. I lucked out and found 2 drums with lids, got both for $30. Both had orange syrup in them and liners. Burning I decided to go with 3 intake vents. 3/4 ball valves U.S size nuts are nearly impossible to find, so a friend welded the threads to the drum. Sheets of expanded metal are very expensive. Smaller pieces can be bought at most "Home Depot" style stores. Welded to an old pizza pan Handle attached Lid painted Charcoal basket with handle Lid Holder Finished Grate holder from my retired ECB 1st Cook 2nd Cook 6lb Brisket Flat 4lb Butt NEXT MORNING Hickory & Apple chunks Temps 320F - 360F Final Internal temps before resting - Brisket 190F ; Butt 205F Overall the meat was delicious, but the smoke ring was almost nonexistent. Not enough wood chunks or because I used lump? Last smoke I used briquettes and it was great. 3rd Cook Blue Smoke!!!!! 20 degree difference between side thermo and Maverick under the grate. 3 hrs 30 min 5 hrs and BBQ sauce Done! Temps were constant, 240 - 250 for 6 hrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Might sell the WSM. Maybe not. |
