The brotherhood of the UDS

[Willie]

Hoping to get my drum burned out tomorrow on my day off... I'd love to cook on it this week

What are you gona do just open the ball valves and set a raging garbage fire in there? Then you gotta scrape the coating out?

I'm going to take the elbows and uprights out.. I just put it all together for fun and to make sure I had everything I needed.


Shouldn't have to grind out the coating... I don't think. It has some sort of glue resin in there... I thought only food grades had to be scraped out?

I think you're right. Everything I've read says the same. Just get a big, hot fire going for four or five hours and all should be killed off inside.

Yea, I'm probably going to burn it off 2x, then season it. Should be fine by then....if not someone say something fast.

Sounds good. Only reason I could see for scraping would be if something was left in there after burning.

Prolly going to do a butt first. Seems to be the most fool proof thing to start with, and its my favorite. I've gone to several competitions but I'm always the guy handing the cooks beer,cutting stuff, applying the rub..ect I've never actually done one on my own. Pretty excited actually. I've logged about 20 youtube hrs watching people cook on these things.

Mancavemeals on youtube has some excellent videos by the way.

[FlintRiverFowler]

That looks awesome the way you hung those up in there. I wouldn't have thought of that.

So it's a coincidence that it's also one of the cheapest meats around?

He one time even got delayed from replying to a text when a chicken truck had a tire blow out and had to haul ass to inspect for loose poultry.

Ha! I forgot all about that! Still a little disappointed that the driver kept going. If he would've stopped in front if my house, I would've had 59 chickens off that truck before he was off the phone with his dispatcher.

How do you make yours? I'm just kinda winging it. Some people say 325 for 2-2.5 hours. Others say 275 for 3-4 hours. I like the idea of the longer cook to get more smoky flavor to the meat.

[Redbeard]

I just go bout two hours between 220-250ish. They had plenty of smoke in em. Just don't over do em and they'll be the juiciest yard bird you'll ever eat.
