My gpa uses a green egg and he really likes it. My dad likes his gas smoker, and I have an electric masterbuilt smoker. Electric is super easy

 

Im rocking a UDS smoker best thing since sliced bread and dirt cheap. Love mine so much I built me 2 so I can cook 12 butts at a time.

 

masterbuilt 40" digital electric smoker. set the temp and walk away. I love it.

 

anyone build there own? I have pics of mine on my phone of the 1 I built this past year.

 

I had to look up what a UDS smoker was. Brad, is this the kind you built also? Doesn't seem too hard at all especially if you don't weld the charcoal baskets.

I have been contemplating getting an electric smoker because they are relatively cheap and I live in a townhouse that backs directly up to others so I don't want to smoke them out.

 

I have the same here....love it

 

I use a big smoker pit. I have used many methods to cook ribs. I now go by temp. spice night before. throw on the pit and start cooking till the get to around 140-145. by this time it is ready to put on the sauce. I mix beer with bbq sauce and poor it over them. wrap and let them go. when the temp gets to where it needs to be I check the bones. I like mine tender. the bones should start to pull out easy. let it rest for about 15 minutes and chow.

if you are doing turkey try this. inject it with Cajun butter. pull skin carefully up on the breast and stuff butter in there. then dust wth a turkey rub.

 

I built a reverse flow. Awesome things for a party are moinks. Meatballs wrapped in bacon.. and bacon wrapped jalapeņo peppers with smokies and cream cheese. Smoke them for a few hours.

 

I have a 22.5 weber smokey mountain now and I have used the hell out of that thing and made some pretty good bbq. I have used it nearly every weekend since I bought it over a year ago. I'm getting ready to start building an insulated gravity fed stumps clone. Cook chamber is going to be 26"x26"x36".

 

I laugh everytime I read the title of this thread.
