true enough. the other difference is that restricted exhaust...

anyone used the Pit Barrel Cooker or have thoughts on it? the big design changes are: the meat hangs from hooks, and the exhaust is minimal, through the holes cut in the side for the hanging rods (rebar). apparently it works well, but i am unsure about hanging the meat so close to the fire. it is a ...

great question. i would put them on the bottom so as not to collect grease and debris. and yes - a lot of holes. it would take a lot of work to figure out the right dimensions. but i suspect it could be done if the design promised a better cook...

right. sorry it is not clear. the smoke travels from below through tubes that also serve as the grill rack. notches cut in the tubes release smoke next to the meat.

thanks all! it was fun to build but more fun to use... hmmm

....just joined and am looking forward to learning a lot. what i have seen shows enormous skill, creativity and rigor. i have built just one uds but am looking forward to making more smokers. i have a small metalworking shop in my garage and have been making sculpture for years. take a look, if inte...

i know that convection, smoke and heat make for good meat. so i was trying to figure out a way to combine them. i am not sure whether this will work, but i was thinking that if the smoke were routed through tubes on which the meat sat, it might infuse more smoke. or it might not work at all. here is...
