Unattended UDS safe or not safe

If it is on concrete and NOTHING and Nobody is or will anywhere near be it, it should be okay. Then again, I'm a firm believer that if it can go wrong, it will. I will leave my Stumps unattended because it is all enclosed and it doesn't get hot on the outside.

With the IQ on my Stumps I:sleep: all night:thumb:
 
I have passed out errrr..... fell asleep for 8 hours and come back to it sitting at 225 right where I left it. I would not sweat it.
 
I'm from the Camp that throws their meat on,check the temp for about 2 hours...when stabilized take a good night sleep.:becky:
 
I tell my customers that "it's almost set it and forget it". Leave and go to work for (I'm assuming) 8+ hours, not me cause I know my BDS's (Beautiful Drum Smokers) better than that. Take a nap or leave them for a few hours ... yes not a problem.

That's what makes cooking on a UDS, WSM, or even an ECB so worthwhile, once you get the feel of your smoker, you can actually sleep! I've even left my ECB all alone for 6 hours +, and it was still cruising at 240! It's about the cooker's technique, more than the actual piece of hardware used to cook. The extra sleep is a big bonus.
