So you say. My UDS has never seen a charcoal briquette. I modify how strong the smoke is my mixing woods. I use alot of maple & fruit woods with a little oak or hickory for a milder smoke.

Smokers 003.jpg Smokers 001.jpg Well mine is finished! Which I can prove via pics above. The bottom pic is the three that have been neglected since I started reading this and since I constructed the UDS. So far it has smoked, rib tips, a Brisket and a Fatty. Though, apparently it never happened since I failed to photograph the event. I will also say that as mentioned, it does cook a bit faster so a meat thermometer is a must. I must say, I'm amazed at the ability to hold temperature with almost no work on my end. Always end up with some charcoal and part of my wood chunks left over as well. I love my offset, but its probably going to be sold. I'm now in search of a Weber Kettle Lid so I can use two racks. Though I must say I like the flat top look. Thanks for all the advice! You guys saved me quite a bit of cash as a BDS was going to be my Christmas present to myself. |

Dude: Isn't that a Weber Kettle in the pic? What's wrong with it's lid?
You might also want to consider making and extension ring for your Kettle or your UDS, Basically, it's a 1/3 segment of a drum.

It is not the fit that I need and will need to be modified. Unless one of you smarter than I guys is telling me that bending the lip of the Weber out, will not affect the performance on the Weber itself?

2 or 3 fist sized chunks last the entire smoke!

Hey boys,
I'm thinking about installing a dial thermometer to my drum. I am getting tired of "forgetting" my digitals outside, then they get weathered and I have to buy a new one. Spicewines thermometer has a 2 1/2" probe. Do you think the temps need to be read at the center of the grate or will that be fine. The "forgetting" part is Mr. Jack Daniels fault. He always screws me up by the end of a long cook. |

Get the one with the short probe & add 30* for the center temp. A longer probe will be a problem for your charcoal basket. Place the thermo just under the lower grate.
