Hi guys,
great to find a texas bbq forum. I'll be asking a lot of questions as there is some wisdom here.
Ive been smoking for many years on a POS(pitiful offset smoker) and it finally got to where I wouldnt use it any longer. it burned too much fuel, wouldnt get hot enough, and leaked everywhere, and was a PITA to tend.
I finally put it out on the side walk and started looking for a new smoker.
so after doing a lot of research I just built a UDS ugly drum smoker. seriously this thing is amazing and I think everyone should have one.
It was very inexpensive to build.
it uses so little fuel its surreal
temp management is easy. I dont even bother using the auto temp fan I bought for it.
no leaks anywhere
great flavor
almost a set it and forget it cooker
i use a heatermeter that has a port forwarding enabled so I can control my smoker from anywhere in the world, using my phone.
Im back to smoking again and I am here to learn.
