So, you want to be a DrumPit Master....

N8man · 07-30-2013, 08:46 PM

Well Friends, I'm here to help get you on the path...

Firstly, you'll need a trusty DrumPit...also known as an Ugly Drum Smoker, or UDS for short...
This'uns mine...nice ain't it?

Secondly, you'll need a firm grasp of how to's and why for's...
I'd suggest you spend a little time perusing this lil' gem, writ up by a sketchy character, for sure...
http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...70&postcount=1

Take your time, I'll wait on you...

Now that you've gotten your fill of knowledge, time's a wastin' let's burn some foodstuffs...
Get your charcoal basket loaded and ready...

Light up some charcoal in a chimney...

Let it ash over a bit...

Then dump it in a neat pile on top of that charcoal basket...

Close it up and let it come up to your target temp....

Get your cooking grates ready....these are mine, multi tiered for ease of stacking different levels of food...

Make sure that when the target temp is achieved, there's also clean
smoke to cook with...

Bad Smoke...give it some more time to clean up...

Good Smoke...

Get that food in there!!!...
Lower level...Beans for me...

Next level, a nice Ten Pound Pork Butt and Kielbasas....the pork butt is gonna drip into the beans and make them delightful!!!

The Kielbasa won't take long to be ready, about an hour...

I took them off and put on some Nekkid Fattys...here they are two and a half hours later @ 170* internal, ready to come off...and look at those beans....nice..

Temperature has been rock solid throughout the cook....

Here is the Pork Butt @ 170* internal temp...and the beans are nice and tender, they's ready to come outta there...

Pork Butt is out of the DrumPit @ 200* internal temp, 4 hours later, and put in the house oven, set on warm, to rest for 3 hours and now ready to enjoy....MMMMMMMMM!!!

Time for the Happy Dance!!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope all y'all's cooks will all be golden!!!

14 bean mix, soaked over night.
Rinsed then placed into pot and covered with
2 inches of water with the addition of 1 sweet onion,
two stalks of celery, 1 carrot and 2 roma tomatoes all fine chopped.
2 bay leaves and seasoned with a few shakes of Yard Bird.
