Default Ole Hickory

Anybody here have a Ultra Que from Old Hickory?

I picked mine up tonight looking for help on using charcoal thinking about giving it a try for Comps?

Very nice.

Never known anybody with an Ultra Que. I've seen the larger, commercial units at comps all the time. Ole Hickory has a well deserved reputation and a proven track record at competitions.

Let us know how it goes.

There is something really nice about having a first class smoker. Just don't tell my wife because she'll have me doing yardwork and stuff while smoking.

Somebody else might want to chime in here, but I think you can use gas to preheat the smoker in competition so long as there is not meat in the smoker.

I've never pushed the envelope, but I do think it is allowed.

I've talked to Margret about the convecture CTO unit with propane for fuel, I've posted questions on ole hickory smoker's but don't get many responces. Tell us more, such as smoke flavor, smoke ring, taste of food and pics please. Locally a resaurant uses the EL Ole hickory model with propane and I like the flavor of the food, I just wonder if the smaller smokers produce the same.

Default Ultra Que........

I purchased my Ultra Que two weeks ago. I just loaded two Pork Butts and a whole brisket this evening. I can be smoking in about ten minutes. The Ole Hickory Ultra Que is a very high quality smoker that takes very little time and effort. My old wood smoker took to much time and attention.

I am still learning what this thing can do, but so far I love it!

Well Dusty, I guess you're on to something. Zman has been wrecking shop in KCBS comps with his automotronBBQatron contraption he has. I guess Craig will be the next to defect to the mechanized division.

Myself, I refuse to get any sleep at a comp.
