Just in case nobody got the memo.... The perfect cooking temp is now 270. 225 is so 1995.

Control your pit, don't peek, don't use water, and cruise at higher temps. Fat renders better, and final result will knock your socks off.

I'm drawing from PT's rants, but IMO, it works.

I just used a few washers to space the upper section of the hinges out until it was in proper alignment.

Wow I had no idea, searching through the forums I've read most used 225-230. I haven't peeked once as hard as it is I appreciate the tip!

My first UDS creation a boneless pork butt. Came out really well and juicy and tender. I foiled when it stalled at 162. It took just over 7.5 hours to hit 194. Worked pretty good and held 230ish very well.

Yup this is my new way of cooking too. You all are doing an awesome job on these drums. The John Deer looks bad ass.

Tell me guys, If I've read the first 210 pages of this thread, do I still need to read the whole thing or do I have the basics?

you would be missing out on some cool ideas but you probably have the basics down. There is cool mods throughout the entire thread ...took two weeks sporadically reviewing at work to get to the last page... for now anyway. I printed pictures of what I want to do with my new 3 barrels I score for $50. I was going to make them all interchangeable for rotisserie, weber cover, several levels, grill option, and diffuser option. That is the plan... will see how things change.

Even though it's akin to War & peace it is a great read.

I've gone through every post over the past couple of years. It's a good long read.

Default Burning out a barrel

Hey Everyone,

This thread has been doing me a lot of good but one thing I am still confused about is the burn out. If you buy a brand new unlined drum do you need to do a burn out or can you go strait to rubbing it down with oil and seasoning?

Thanks,
Dave

If it were me, I would have some kind of hot fire in it just to make sure everything, if any, inside where you food is going to be was cleansed by heat. That's just me.
