UDS getting a workout

Trainwreck · 09-01-2008, 07:16 AM

This is the most I have ever cooked at one time on my UDS. She's chugging along pretty good right now. Here is the pics before they went in.
Pre-rub

Rubbed and ready to go

I'll let you know how they turn out.

HeSmellsLikeSmoke · 09-01-2008, 07:39 AM

From what I have read from the experts on here, the UDS will handle that, but will take some extra time. Hope your schedule took that into account?

Sure is gonna be a nice feed. How many are you cooking for?

I cooked 3 butts and a brisket in my UDS Friday. Took about 23 hours total. Biggest problem was ash buildup under the fire basket.

Trainwreck · 09-01-2008, 09:13 AM

Not too worried about ash build. I got this one figured out pretty good. I dont think these should take longer then 14hrs tops. I am smoking a little hotter then I normaly do my butts to accomidate for all the extra meat. It was deffinately a tight fit though. 5 on each rack. I am cooking for a relatives wedding next weekend. About 100 people. I figured about 75lbs pre cooked. We'll see how they turn out. I will post finished pics when there done. They went on about 4:30 this morning after a 12hr soak.

Hope there is enough airflow with that much meat. Good luck brother. Keep us posted.

A 12 hour soak? You brined them?

Norcoredneck · 09-01-2008, 09:48 AM

10 on a 55? Better man than me.

Trainwreck · 09-01-2008, 10:33 AM

I'll take some pics when I get ready to pull them off. When I started doing butts I originally brined them. I tried steering away from that for comps and was playing with injections but I really prefer the extra flavor and moisture I get from brining. I might be going back to brining for my comps but we will see. Air flow is a concern as I had several touching when they went in but I figured as they shrink down it should get a little better. I also put a piece of tinfoil on my lower rack and slit a bunch of holes in it to help with the eztra fat dripping on to the lump. I was concerned with that much in the smoker it may have too many flare ups. I could be wrong but never tried this many at one time. Butts are currently at 160*.

Must be feeding a bunch of people. Guess my invite got lost in the mail!

Meat Burner · 09-01-2008, 10:40 AM

Trainwreck, sounds like it's going pretty well. Did you rotate any of the meat? Snap a pic next time the lids is off. Like to see that many butts on a drum. Keep it up brother!

garyk1398 · 09-01-2008, 12:20 PM

We are all waiting to see them on the UDS! Good luck and hope they turn out great!

HeSmellsLikeSmoke · 09-01-2008, 01:33 PM

10? LOL I did a quick count when I first saw the post thought there were 8. Looked again and now see that there are 10 -- wow.

We are gonna need some pron pretty soon.
