Hi all,
Been lurking for awhile - found the forum as I looked for info on how to use my UDS 42 years old, have two little girls 7 and 9 (that happened fast!!!) I've cooked as a serious hobby for more than 20 years but am frankly a newbie when it comes to smoking meat. Decided to sign up as this seems like a knowledgeable, friendly group.
Let's see, toys of interest to the forum.... I have a home built UDS - currently being worked on - repainting, adding two more shelves (one as a heat shield), running the bottom vents up the side and just cut the top rim off so an old weber kettle lid works. I have a LEM .5 hp grinder - I make pretty decent homemade fresh sausage. I am considering trying my hand at fermented or cold smoked. (The grinder was purchased to make fresh food for a pure bread cat - yes, it's ridiculous but he is a big cat!)
I work in tech to make a living. Play the cello and enjoy target shooting.
Born in Pennsylvani, raised in NH, college in Chicago, adult life in Los Angeles.
Will try to not ask dumb questions or worse, give dumb answers
