The problem I've found is that it's way too hot to use it from April til October. And cleaning and seasoning after cooking is a pain.I had the 28. Perfect size for me. Just found that it was more work than I wanted for just me. The smash burgers were unbeatable though. Now I do them on my gas grill with a pan.
I miss it at times and it's a good addition to the outdoor cooking situation. I miss it much more than my BGE.
I've seen them used in competitions, and I've seen them win. You can find plans all over the web. If you don't want to invest much, it is a good solution. The guys I know that built them spent around $500 each. If you are going to build one, I highly recommend the style with the long air intake pipe that attaches at the bottom, slightly below the coal bed. If you really want to get creative, add a BBQ Guru to one and have a charcoal smoker that can be controlled like a pellet grill. My recreational go to is a Rec Teq 700. These guys build great pellet grills with outstanding customer service. They are pricey but worth every penny. I have a pull behind stick burner for competitions and I've been able to get very similar results with the Rec Teq.Anyone build UDS or know anyone?
You sound like a man with a lot of knowledge! I’ve been seeing the custom builds online and people actually do them for side gigs. Your rec Tec, can you get the smoke infused into the meat? That’s my knock on them but you say similar results to a stick burnerI've seen them used in competitions, and I've seen them win. You can find plans all over the web.

So, I've got a family with some particular beef eaters that do not enjoy meat that is tough at all. We have several cuts from our half cow that I'm not sure what to do with.
Any recommendations on using the sirloin and round steak cuts, in particular?

The mango habanero salsa is addictive.
BBQ rub of choice, 2 hours on smoke at 250, tented w foil for another hour, then glazed and finished for another hour. Here's the recipe I used for the glaze:KD, can you "expound" on what U did with the spiral cut ham??? That looks absolutely, positively Delicious!!!
