ribs have been in foil for an hour now and starting to shrink back, i've basted them in cider again and put them back in the UDS for another hour. kielbasa also got foiled an hour ago, it is a lovely golden colour now and firm so it's double wrapped and put in a cool bag. belly pork needs at least ...

Re: UDS Barrel-The Dreaded Red/Orange/Brown/Tan Liner Questi

whatever paint is there will get burned off after your first run, and then it'll be susceptible to oxidization and rust. best bet is to remove the outer paint with a fire and then a flap disk, and then give it a coat of hight temp or bbq paint.

Re: first smoke - pork shoulder

still struggling to keep the temp down with the lower vent fully closed. when it started creeping above 250 i soaked the other half of the hickory chips for 30min and covered the coals with them. it dropped back down and stayed there for the next 2 hours.

it's very tasty, but the very middle isn't ...

Re: budget UDS

the showers held off for long enough for me to mask up and give it a couple of coats of bbq paint. i just need to find a cheap baking tray to use for the ash catch tray and then season the inside with veg oil before doing a dry run to get the temp set ok.

Re: budget UDS
