Anybody here have a Ultra Que from Old Hickory?

I picked mine up tonight looking for help on using charcoal thinking about giving it a try for Comps?
 
Very nice.

Never known anybody with an Ultra Que. I've seen the larger, commercial units at comps all the time. Ole Hickory has a well deserved reputation and a proven track record at competitions.

Let us know how it goes.
 
man I wish we could use gas all the time for Comp I hooked up the propane last night just to see how she would do holly crap in ten minutes it was up to 250 and the log was smoking good let it stabilized for five or so minutes and then went up to 300 before shutting it down what a super easy rig to operate no wounder most restaurant have the big units very simple. :biggrin: Pictures to come

There is something really nice about having a first class smoker. Just don't tell my wife because she'll have me doing yardwork and stuff while smoking.

Somebody else might want to chime in here, but I think you can use gas to preheat the smoker in competition so long as there is not meat in the smoker.

I've never pushed the envelope, but I do think it is allowed.
 
I've talked to Margret about the convecture CTO unit with propane for fuel, I've posted questions on ole hickory smoker's but don't get many responces. Tell us more, such as smoke flavor, smoke ring, taste of food and pics please. Locally a resaurant uses the EL Ole hickory model with propane and I like the flavor of the food, I just wonder if the smaller smokers produce the same.
 
Wow! I googled your new pit...that puppy looks pretty cool! I'm looking forward to seeing some pics of it in action. :p Congrats!

Ultra Que........

I purchased my Ultra Que two weeks ago. I just loaded two Pork Butts and a whole brisket this evening. I can be smoking in about ten minutes. The Ole Hickory Ultra Que is a very high quality smoker that takes very little time and effort. My old wood smoker took to much time and attention.

I am still learning what this thing can do, but so far I love it!

Well Dusty, I guess you're on to something. Zman has been wrecking shop in KCBS comps with his automotronBBQatron contraption he has. I guess Craig will be the next to defect to the mechanized division. :mad:

Myself, I refuse to get any sleep at a comp. :wink:
 
Well after spend much of the day Sunday cooking Brisket, meat loaf and Moink balls I'm officially full 8)

the brisket turned out very good nice smoke ring good hickory flavor. The Meat loaf was very very good ate it all myself small loaf :twisted:

Wife was impressed with the moink balls sorry no picks batteries went down :mad:

Sounds really impressive.

I have searched for a price for the Ultra Que, but it seems to be a secret. :oops:

How much??? is my question.

Thanks,

TIM
