    Nice work on that basket,is it welded SS? Is your UDS one piece with a lid or does it break down?

    I think I understand,your UDS has the same potential for a long smoke time as any WSM because the volume of fuel is the same. Making efficient use of that fuel is your goal 1.) load the bottom with the amount of fuel for the duration you need 2.)Arrange that fuel so it burns in a centric " C"...

    Efficiency is as simple as a well sealed unit,unless outside temps are extremely low. Other than that what are you trying to accomplish?

    If you have an offset you can either add a blocking plate just above the fire to force the smoke under and through the food but you will need to have the intake low and within that fire compartment OR raise the food grate so when smoke raises and passes it must go past the food. Remember,you...

    Are you sure yours is a bullet smoker? Look at my pic,the fire is on the bottom then a water pan (I rarely use) then a food grate then another then the lid with the outlet vent. Sounds like you have an offset smoker?

    Buying a Smoker. Any insight?

    The biggest issue with temp control is poor fitting seems and poor sealing vents as well as a huge door,if you look at my WSM you will see I have three seams and several vents. After a few cooks this unit is built so well all seams seal completley and the only place smoke will go is through the...

    Exactly my point,and when you can load the coal and meat and KNOW it's at temp with no fussing that's easy....... My 24 year old Weber shows quality and yes it's not the thickest steel but with care they can last a full lifetime,the portability is also great. Did I say how much I LOVE my...

    Slap yo daddy BBQ is just one. All I can tell you is in California climate I can smoke anything,95% I set it up and can walk away and every time my maverick will show me from two doors down in a pool my WSM is within 2 degrees of my target temp for up to 16 hours in one fill. Their 10 year...

    Buying a Smoker. Any insight?

    If price,size and weight are not an issue I would choose a more robust unit,but with all those considered and the fact I love to have the option to easily move the WSM to the beach or wherever I choose. BTW,a Brinkman is a cheap home improvement brand but in reality Webers are just one small...

    Was very good,not the same. The prawns were very delicate,he said they were blacks but I can tell they were a fresh water variety and not the same flavor or texture. I used a full stick of unsalted butter,half chili,1/4 white onion and about 1/2 cup of wine sautéed so the onion was translucent...

    I get to play with every brand,size and type smoker on the market as well as many UDS units and every time 100% I can honestly say the Weber Smokey Mountain WSM 22.5" with a BBQ Guru is the easiest most reliable all around unit you will ever use. If you can get away with the smaller size 18" go...
