Hi, thanks for the reply's.

I only use my own rubs but tend to cut back on the sugar as I don't like them overly sweet but might up it a little to see if this makes a difference.

Hi
Had a great time BBQing on my UDS last year and just about to take her out of hibernation and give her a good clean out ready for spring. My UDS has been make with a Big Poppa kit and is a dream to cook on, gets up to temp real quick and once you find the sweet spot it hold temp like a dream ...

Hi
I've just burnt out my drum ready for painting but not sure if I need to paint the inside as well as the outside. I've just bought 3 cans of black BBQ spray paint from Wilko's but I'd rather not spray the inside after going to so much effort to get the old paint off!

Any advice greatly ...

I'll keep you updated on how it goes.
