Love the UDS, I got mad props on my 15 hr. whole pork shoulder. The family was loving it, there wasn't an unfinished sandwiched all night. First cook on the UDS and I was nervous as fark. I fed about 20 of my family which was awesome and they told me it was better than the pulled pork they got at the local bbq and I got leftovers to take to work which is cool.If you build it they will come

Lump vs. Briqs in UDS
I made the switch to lump today and am having some trouble with my temps. First off...lump is much hotter than the briqs! I also find that it heats much faster but also responds to decreases much quicker too.
My normal setup to keep 250 is 1 intake open (1 inch) and ball valve about 1/8 inch with full weber daisy wheel exhaust. That setup had me at 320 on lump early this morning at 50 outside! After fighting for a while I think I have it figured out. Now I'm about 90% open on the hole intake and 50% on the exhaust wheel. It's amazing how much playing with the exhaust makes a difference with lump...never like that when I use briq's. Anyone have any experiences like this or tips to working with this stuff?

probe hole
If you have a decent hardware store close by, go look in the little sliding drawers marked lamp parts. they have these small sleeves with the nuts and even caps. I used compression fittings for probe holes but the i.d. was to small for multiple leads and/or probes with any kind of crimp or bend in them. I replaced them the lamp sleeves. my .02.

Probes
KISS: Snake the probe in through the exhaust. Works for me.

Yeah, but with a Weber lid (or any lid for that matter) do you have issues when you open it? Even with a decent lead on the probe I want to avoid any unnecessary wear on the leads. Tis a good KISS idea though and probably works for long cooks of a single type/piece of meat like butts or brisket when there is minimal opening of the lid.
Pretty sure there are some lead enhancement products around. Probelatis, Tempzyte, 4xL (Ladies Love Long Leads). Check your email, I am sure you have been contacted already. Seriously though, I do know Maverick makes an extended probe. Not sure about other manufacturers. |

Got 2 8 lb. shoulders on injected with apple juice and my rub, as well as 4 slabs of spare ribs. Wow the meat really knocked the sails out of this SOB. It peaked out at 205 deg. with intakes closed. Had to open them 1/2" to get 230, 3/4" for 240, and 1" for 250. Sailing along nicely. |

sjm, just trying to help a brother here. Be very careful using the exhaust to control temps on a UDS. You can get a bitter nasty flavor when you choke the smoke down inside. Controlling the burn cleanly with the intakes might be a better option.

I just drape my temp probe wires over the side of the barrel and put the lid on. Never have had a problem, no worries about wires out the exh. holes and how to remove the lid.
Guys, keep it simple.......... Paul B SS UDS |

Ok I just gotta pipe in here. Dang guys it's only cooking. You shouldn't have any problem if you built it correctly and you shouldn't have any problem with the probe leads if ya follow the directions here. Good luck on all your smokes. I have never had a problem but I followed the directions here.

Next Project
The beauty of it is that the Weber lid fits perfectly. I'm breaking the $$ rule with this one but I'm okay with that.
