Smoker

 Well, I went and bought a UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker), I don't think drum smokers are ugly though.

I didn't really get to cook much in it yet. A few day's ago I did large chicken breasts and today did a pork tender loin. The loin was ok but being we bought it already to cook, I think it could have used a different kind of seasoning on it.

I do like the fact that when you get the temp set, it will really hold that set temp really well. One bad thing about the smoker is the shipping. I see a number of people complain about getting broken parts like a bent thermometer or some other minor thing.

When mine arrived by UPS, the box was kind of all ripped up with tape trying to hold things together which didn't do a very good job. Everything in the box is packed in styrofoam so everything was ok when I finally got the box off. I think the smoker weighs in at about 130 pounds or close to it, or maybe it as 149 pounds, either way, it's pretty heavy.

Guess maybe over the week end I'll have to try something new to cook in it. I think the biggest problem is the fact no matter what you choose to cook, there is probably a hundred different recipes for it, so then you have to figure out which recipe you want to go with and also wonder will you like it when it's done.....
