Four hours into the dry run ... smoker is very touchy between 225* and 250* ... Lid seals good and can't see any visible intake leaks ... 1 vent open and ball valve 1/2 to 1/4 = 250, 1 vent open valve closed 225*. Right now another adjustment vent open and ball valve barely open (1/8 ) ... sure would like to get to 235* to 240*.

OK .. started with the minion method about 10 coals ... flat lid w/8 exhaust vents.
Once I find the sweet spot on the ball valve ... holding between 225 and 250. I guess I'm a little anal as I would like to get more precise at 235 to 240. A 25 degree spread isn't really that big of a deal. So far so good. BTW a 2" stack is .4 of a square inch larger than 8 - 1/2 in holes, better exhaust. Do all your control with the INLETS and leave the EXHAUST open. |

Has anyone ever made a step by step guide with pictures or a video for uds creation?
There is just so much info here its totally overwhelming and I'm unsure where to even start..... I'm not especially handy when it comes to diy. I'm hoping someone with some experience will have made something they can share. Sent from my GT-I9100

Ran 11 1/2 hours, averaged 238*. Several tweeks, prob me being anal.
Could possible run longer @ a lower temp like for an all nighter. Over all good results. Will check the charcoal basket in the morning. Ribs this weekend. Later Jim
