No, not that kind of smoking. Meat smoking.
My friend Randy recently found the instructions for a UDS, or Ugly Drum Smoker. It’s a meat smoker that it made out of a 55 gallon drum that when working correctly can go for up to 15 hours without intervention. It is able to stay at the requisite temperatures for longer then smokers you purchase at the local Home Depot or wherever, hold more meat, and are cheaper to make then buy. All great qualities 😉
Thus far I have had issues with mine keeping a consistent temperature, but I am pretty sure that is due to a faulty lid, which I have now got a replacement for.
So far I have cooked two Pork Butts (shoulder actually) and some chicken. Not sure what I’ll try this weekend. They have all tasted great, even though I have had temperature or timing problems on each one. They will taste all the better when I get the temperature, timing and process all nailed down.
Quality pictures thanks to my iPhone. Yeah not my normal quality, but it was the camera that was handy.
