Does, a UDS + 3 Rebar + some hooks = a PBS ?
For those that own both, what are the differences between a UDS and a PBS ?
Would a simple set of mods to a UDS give you a PBS ? Does a PBS yeid different results than a UDS? If modding a UDS does provide you with a PBS, what cooks would you hang PBS style, and what cooks would you use a cooking grate for ( UDS style )? I guess the end results of this mod would be called a UDPBS... Or would it be best to buy a PBS or build a clone? |
are you pushing buttons this early in the morning?!

The only difference I see is a PBC is the design it has 1 2" intake and it exhausts where the re bar goes through the sides at the top of the barrel. The intake is open full during a cook. So it cooks Hot & fast. Go to the website and watch a few cooking vids. It shows it in action. I think a UDS can be easily modified to work the same.

There was an interesting thread about this in the last few days, if you can find it, it was informative and somewhat entertaining.

I've no doubt it's a fine product. Patiodaddio and others have vouched for it. Good enough for me. I believe them.
The price looks fair enough, but I just can't afford it! Plus I prefer to have on the fly intake adjustments. Since I prefer to build my own smokers anyway, I will be building one! My first uds works awesome, and I have no doubt I can build something comparable to the PBC style. It has definitely peaked my interest. :) |
I don't think there is to much difference to where you cant build a hybrid, I have a new drum right now that I was planning on making a hybrid. My sisters BIL has been cooking in a drum for years that I always figured it was a UDS until I saw it in action. No intake down below the only exhaust was the air gap the rebar created (just laid across the top for hanging the meat). I was surprised how well they cooked and with no idea what temp they were running just dump in a bag of K blue and get all the coals burning.

Now that's interesting! Thanks for sharing.

IF you were to build a clone, your best bet would be to use a 30 gal drum instead of a 55 gal. The 30 gal size uses less charcoal, cooks hotter, and radiates heat more evenly than the 55 gal. The way I think of it with my pits is this- PBC= hot and fast smoke, 300*-325*, great for poultry and when there is less available cook time for things like pork butt (4-6hrs vs. 12-16hrs). UDS= true low and slow smoke, 225*-250*, great for the long haul when time allows. Hope that helps. |
I'm curious...if the intake is set, how can it possibly cook at the same temps during the winter months as it does during the summer months?

I don't see why it couldn't be cloned easily. But, I also think they are charging a very fair price. A better comparison would probably be a WSM, since they are both commercial products and about same exterior dimensions. |
