I am willing to bet my UDS at high temp will be stellar.... maybe I can crank to 350... I have uped the inlets to one inch, four of them

The time I saved switching to hot & fast just got wasted on the time I'll be spending cleaning up my keyboard and monitor!!

Ramp up from 250 to 325 now!

Anybody have thoughts on ramping temps up or down during a cook?

Wondering if varying temps to hit a target time for a brisket to be ready would be a valid strategy - normally it'd probably be ramping up, cause if you get done early you can just hold it in the cooler. I would imagine the comp folks would have some insights into this.

My first 3 briskets I followed Donny's video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQCeXzhWz3U) to a T. Pan temp foil etc.
My last two I didnt have time to babysit due to family in town and what not.

Parked the UDS at 300* trimmed rubbed and threw on the Brisket. 10 hours later pulled off the following.
No panning, no wrapping, No flipping.

Anyone who knows the walmart turkey frying thermos, know that 300* is straight up and you can see it on the third picture. Note, its the second thermo. The top walmart thermo is my probe to test for doneness.

When I learned to smoek, I'd target 225 to 250. But my last brisket the temps were more 275 to 300 at times. Still tasted about the same. :shrug:

Anybody think it's curious that 3 of the 4 ranges are 15-20 degrees wide, and the one that the vast majority fall into is 75 degrees wide?

Skewed poll.

I didn't think we were to talk politics in threads. ;)


Sorry, I read poll and that is all I can think of, the mind control commercials are working.

Much more fair mod this way.


There is a reason its that way. It has little to do with skewing the results and its due to the accepted realms of norm that have been discussed for years or that have been published.

42BBQ - I finally found a use for the UDS the other day. I had 4 butts frozen that were smoked and and 4 more raw. I had a quick call to make a crap load of pork tacos. I mean like the day before. Luckily I had the presmoked.

I chopped fist size chunks and boiled the four raw butts in a strong spice stock with onions and peppers too, quick thawed the other for smoked ones. combined them for maybe a two hour simmer and then plopped them my huge flat grill when I was outside for show and to get another carmelization on them.

They were so good I could see me makin money on the street every day selling these and only needing to smoke a few (which could low smoke while I am gone) every other day in a UDS.

depends on what flavor profile I am looking for, what I have seen on my cookers is the flavor is better 275/325 however the texture of the meat for slicing is different than when I cook at 225 /250...
also, depends on the cut, I assume your are talking packer here and if going higher I leave fat cap heavier or if cooking at or under 265..then I trim most of it off..also the skrinkage rate is higher with the faster cooks....something like jumping in a real cold swimming pool....lots of skrinkage...
