I never really wanted a uds but now I'm actually considering one. That's just so versatile. I can see where this would be used a lot. Nicely done.:thumb:

It still needs the "Octoforks" roti attachment, and grill basket which is in transit.

It is ON. The immediate thing that I noticed is the sweet campfire smell of burning wood, as opposed to the different smell of smoldering charcoal/wood.

Temp was near 350F, and chiles were quickly blistering.

Now that my maiden burn is over without any real difficulty, I look forward to cooking a big slab of meat on this cooker this upcoming weekend. A very relaxing cook, actually, in spite of the newness of the method. Hard to burn anything when all you have to do is swing the grate away from the fire. It was surprising how hot that barrel can get with just a couple of splits. Very fun, and the smell is like a campfire. Looking forward to longer cooks. Thanks Master Keith!
 
Now that's an amazing looking cook...and setting! Very nice, you should post those peppers separate.

I could tell you really never were very high on the UDS but I can't blame you since you have a Shirley etc...

I don't even know if I'd put this in the UDS category because besides it's shell is a drum that's where the similarities end. lol You'd definitely dig one Paul!

That's awesome. Love the looks of the peppers.
 
Sorry if I missed it, but do you tend to run this with the top vent of the lid closed? I saw mention of lesser airflow past the food keeping things moist, so I'm thinking closed but don't know if it would make much difference with the big gap that's there either way.

I run it closed most of the time Dave with one exception... Example, When I cooked the cupcake banana bread and had it swiveled off some to keep 400* I had the lid exhaust open so it pulled the heat over the bread like (offset configuration) if that makes sense. Similar to when you're using a kettle grill and put the exhaust opposite the heat.

You are right it doesn't make a ton of difference.
 
Thanks for the info. I'm reaaaallly intrigued by this. Very cool thing you've done here. :)
Much appreciated..

I'll tell ya Dave it's pretty freaking cool. If I could wave a magic wand so everyone could experience using and cooking with it I sure would... unfortunately so many people don't have the desire to do anything for themselves other than ordering a cooker off of Amazon.
 
Well that does it, I'm going to have indoctrinate my UDS into Her Majesty's Secret Service and give her the 007 treatment. To tell you the truth I've been putting off using my UDS because I'm kinda tired of ribs and brisket, this will open her up to new and different cooks. Very Nice!!

I had that big 1/4" vertical built that was like a uds with doors so a 2nd uds didn't appeal to me.
