Two 8 pound butts in a Mini UDS
After careful measurement I have discovered that the two 8 lb butts I have will snugly, but properly fit in my Smoky Joe Mini UDS. I'm starting them in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow and will post pictures.

That should be interesting. Do you think you'll have to refuel during the cook?

Nice. On one rack or did you build two levels? Can't recall from your previous pics. I just put two 8lbs butts on the offset at 5 am. Bet I can guess who will use more fuel today!

Hey Matt ~ after my marathon cook on Mini Me a few weekends ago, I struggled with ash after 5+ hours; I used Stubbs natural briquettes.
Your thoughts on avoiding or circumventing the ash issue? BTW, I didn't PM you because I thought the brethren would like to know your thoughts as well.

Couple of answers:
Two levels, each but is about 12" at it's longest dimension, Baby Bullet is 13 7/8" in diameter. Racks are 4" apart which is JUST enough for the butt on the bottom. I've only cooked one long cook in the Baby Bullet, 7 hours for chuck short ribs. I started a little low on fuel and had to add some at the 4 hour mark. At the end of the seven hours I had about an inch of ash in the bottom (Smokey Joe Gold - no bottom vent). This time I'm using the Minion Method with a full charcoal basket and only about 6 hot coals to get things going. I used Jack Daniel's charcoal for both smokes.

Matt, you and jmellon inspired me to build one too. It's finished except for a charcoal grate. I only put in one rack though. Paint is so so.

The charcoal basket isn't essential for the mini to work. It helps keep things organized and gives a little better air circulation, but if you want to do a first smoke, the existing charcoal grate should work just fine.
I have put my tamale steamer insert in for this smoke tO see how well that works. So far 2 hrs in, the temp is steady at 230ºf I'm sure you'll enjoy you mini!
