View Full Version : First cook on the UDS

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:

All looks awesome, Just started my first UDS today, done the burn and waiting for it to cool down, if it turns out as good as yours I'll be more than happy, what did you use for the chimney?, I've got the same drum and would like to use a pipe like yours I can screw straight in to the hole in the lid :thumb:
