How many packers can you cook on a UDS for High Heat?

[sandiegobbq]

I tried cooking two packers on my UDS.
One on each grate.

I had a hard time keeping the temperature as high as I like.

I think next time I need to use a full basket of coal for the minion.

Anyone else have this issue?

a full basket as compared to what? You should be able to do 2 per grate easily temp wise. Where are you reading your temp?

I want to cook between 325-350.

Reading the temp at the grate level with a brand new probe therm.

if the probe is close to the meat youll get a false reading for a while until the meat starts to warm up.
Did you bring pit to temp before loading?

No I didn't.

No I didn't.

Drum really needs to be close to temp or she'll fall off and struggle to get back. :thumb:
