The 3-1-1 method works pretty well here.:-D
Then again I sometimes blow off the foil mod and just pull them earlier.
That also works.

If memories serve me right I believe the American Royal has been won a few times by teams using a uds, as recent as the year before last I think.

thats awsome. cant wait but still alot of practice to perfect every thing. what kind of confuses me also is that when they judge do you try to turn in your ribs hot or if it is ok for them to cool off? i know i love to eat them hot but a real long rest period it good too.

somebody shut me the fark up.
The meat is gonna be cool by the time the judges get it. Between loading the box, turning in the box, the boxes being picked up by the table captains, presented to the judges for appearane and then finally the selection by the judges for each one of their samples...well, it can easily be 20 minutes from the time you turn-in and the judges actually taste the meat.
At small events sometimes the chicken is pretty hot but I don't remember getting hot ribs, pork, or brisket very often.

thanks chad that helps alot. i was worried i would have to keep the ribs on too long just to keep them warm. and that would suck.

That looks good Jerry, I was wondering how much clearence do you leave for the thermo to slide in and out? I have noticed a lot of build up when I'm done smoking and take a srubby pad to it to make sure it doesn't get to much build up. I did mine at work out of brass because thats what I had at the right size. I just popped in a collet and drill bit and knocked out 12 of them in about 15 min. If I need anymore I will use stainless next time. Thanks!

Rocky, Tel-Tru has a 12" thermo in their food service category, $36 though.
The one I used is a cheap turkey fryer thermo I picked up a local restaurant supply house for about $6.
Here is the link to Tel-tru for you.

Looks like a trip to Wal-Mart is coming in my near future. What kind of fittings are those for the thermometer to slide in? Do they leak when you pull it out?

The fitting I used is for some kind of water line. If you go to the plumbing section of your hardware store or the Big Orange Box you will find it there. The stem fits pretty closely in the fitting and slides in and out easily. Don't think there is a problem with any leakage as the hole is less than 1/8".

BarberQue, I just used a bit about the same size as the stem. I did not want to get to big where it leaned down from horizontal.
Bubba, what do you use as a hanger for the lid??? Nice drum to.
