Still practicing with the UDS! Will do a fatty and pig candy this weekend.
So here's my question: Last time the UDS cruised at about 230-235 with one intake and the ball valve a titch open. I had started the cook with only the ball valve open since I was worried about overshooting and getting temps that were too high.
Can I open up one intake and the ball valve open as much as it was last time, fill the basket with the same amount of charcoal and expect it to ramp up and settle out at the same temps? Or does it not work that simplistically?
Also, what would be an approximate time needed to cook a fatty to 170*F? How long should I expect to cook the pig candy?
Thanks!
