D meat barrel

You guys ever seen this?

I was in Pismo beach this past weekend. This guy was selling these at a car show. He gave me a sample The meat was amazing. The meat hangs on hooks while you smoke it. Sells for $399.00

Looks like a fancy UDS with hooks instead of a rack.

I agree, looks like a fancy UDS. get a drum and make one its cheaper.:thumb:

That's what I thought

I must be missing something – how does the lid fit with the meat hanger rods resting on the top of the drum? :crazy:

I was wondering the same thing.

they are not quite at the top. the lid closed fine when I saw it in person

I do like the wing tables but the price seems high

I just watched a video about the D-Meatbarrel on Cooking Outdoors. The barrel has three sets of angle iron brackets near the top for the rods and some stainless hooks that hang over the rods. Should be easy enough to retrofit a UDS with the same setup. He uses wide open inputs and adjusts temp with the exhaust. The UDS system should be better in that regard.

Other than capacity... is there any advantage to hanging meat for smoking as opposed to sitting on a rack/grate?

Most of what it is talked about here is about a portable cooker. That's the Q part of BBQ. Some things are more practical cooked in a smoke house. Things like hams and sausage are usually done in large quantities. My smoke house is only used 2 or 3 times a year, in the fall, to make a years worth and sometimes I take orders. Around Thanksgiving smoked turkey is popular. The price is right so I smoke 15 to 20 at a time. This is all done hanging. I can't picture a walk in smoker with a grate. So, if you don't have a need for a smoke house then you're probably going to get real good cooking on a grate.

Around here, hanging the meat is popular. My UDS has a grate, not hanging rods. I've had meat that was hung(no pun intended), and meat that wasn't. In a blind taste test you'd never be able to tell the difference, at least I know I couldn't.

wow... nice to see someone has made the UDS commercialized. Sure you can make it at home, but what if you want a UDS but don't feel like putting it all together?
