Well, I fired up my UDS for the first time this afternoon. I got everything up and cruising at 250 and decided since I had all the ingredients to make some ABT's, now would be the perfect time. I had about half a basket of coals in my basket, which is pretty big 16" x 10" high, so I figured I'd have more than enough time to let everything cook in for a few hours and still have enough to do some ABT's for an appetizer before dinner. After about 2 hours of empty smoking, I threw on the few ABT's I had and let them go for 2 hours. About 20 minutes before I took them off I gave them a light glaze of my homemade bbq sauce. I think they turned out well for my first time, and the UDS ran great. It held steady temps where ever I set that valve, I was impressed! Here's a few shots of the ABT's and the UDS all set up and running with my Maverick.
Again, Thanks for all the help you guys have provided me with! I can't wait to get a nice packer for the UDS and hopefully turn out some beautiful brisket and burnt ends like you all do :thumb:
