Man that all looks great Jbkilg2! :thumb:
Fellows it's been a few months since I was last on the Brethern. This was not due to choice but rather work and life events. With that said, I'm glad to see the PBS thread is alive and well and sitting on the first page. It remains one of my very favorite posts ever. Glad to be back and hope to be cooking and posting again real soon.
Brother SGH,
Great to see you back.
Great stuff Sako! I think your deflector helped keep the temps more stable than with my experience. I also wasn't trying to go low. I was just seeing how it would burn using the minion method like a UDS.
I'm gonna have to try pork burned ends though! Those look delicious! :hungry:
I mentioned that I used Bob C Que's trick for raising the coal basket onto the grate then placing a second grate on the rebar. However, with the ash catcher the coal basket is too high for the rebar to fit. I had been putting the rebar on the side of the drum but putting a grate on 2 round bars is not a good idea :shocked:
I now use a couple of pieces of square tube that I picked up from Lowes and cut to size. Here is a pic of this in use, along with me stealing another idea from Bob, grilled romaine lettuce.
