PRON from 1st UDS cook

caliking · 02-02-2010, 06:51 PM

Howdy.

Here are the pics from my first UDS cook!.

Pic 1:The chicken was serious goodness... I couldn't believe how good it tasted. The fat rendered out from under the skin and it crisped up very well.

Pic 2: Mac 'n' cheese from scratch... with gruyere and extra sharp cheddar

Pic 3: RIBS!!! 3-2-1 method... with brown sugar, honey, and Parkay on the foil. They tasted awesome, but may have been overcooked... the bones slid right out and I couldn't get them out of the foil for the last hour for the sauce to set. Maybe I'll try a 2-2-1 or 2-1-1 modification to the recipe. Top= Woody's pork rub, with Kansas City bbq sauce; middle= pre-seasoned form Hebert's, Cajun sauce; bottom= dry rub only.

Thanks to everyone who answered my questions during the build, during the test burns, and during the cook itself! More to come...

Alright!! got that bird standing at attention!!

Looks good

cbagby64 · 02-02-2010, 07:03 PM

Great first cook! Try 2.5-1-1 it works better for me on spares.

Dave Russell · 02-02-2010, 07:23 PM

Did you use a heat diffuser? If you did, you'll probably like the chicken flavor even more without one. The bird sure looks good though, no matter how you set it up!

Very nice 1st cook! That looks like it would be a very nice 100th cook!

bigabyte · 02-02-2010, 08:55 PM

Looks fantastic! How did you talk Guerry into being an ingredient in the mac and cheese

landarc · 02-02-2010, 08:59 PM

Good looking grub there, mac-n-cheese looks tasty. For me, the ribs might have been overdone if the bones pulled clean, but, if they tasted good, who cares?

Good lookin' eats right there! You're gonna love that UDS.
