This has to be the best way to smoke a brisket or pork when at the hunting camp/lease. I found out about the UDS on the net last year and have been cooking with since then. Cheapest easiest smoker I have ever used. Its a 55 gallon drum with a charcoal basket in the bottom and cooking grate up top. Do a google search for UDS or ugly drum smoker.
Its a set it and forget it type smoker, 13 lb briskets done in 8 hours.
I have always been a real wood smoker type, till the UDS.
New years weekend, we hunted Friday AM, then went got a brisket. I had the rub on and in the pit by 12:30 pm, by 8 pm brisket was at 175 degrees, we ate on it all weekend.
Once we got back from the store I seasoned the brisket and started the fire in the charcoal basket, set the basket in the drum, set the brisket in, waited for the smoker to hit 250 degrees, capped off some of the intake holes to hold around 250 temp and went hunting till dark. Its that easy.
