Love a UDS! And I agree, everything is better made yourself, only just building my first still so yet to do the bourbon or whisky!

We sell our own range of rubs! Barbecue Mafia. One of them is hot, but the other 2 I designed specifically because I hate sweetness!

I thought I’d revive this thread as I was given a smoker for my birthday. It’s a double door gas job made by coolabah.
Are there any recommended beginners tips to get a halfwit on the right track, from getting started to what chips and rubs?
Thanks

I have this exact type of smoker I got for my birthday a few years ago and yes it is a rebadged Hark.
I tend to do pork ribs in it and they come out superb, I bloody love em. The only thing I find is I have to have it turned right down to do the ribs slow ie 6 hours or so and it sometimes blows out if it is a little windy outside, so I need to keep checking it.
As far as chips go I usually do a combo of 45% apple or other fruit wood, 45% hickory and 10% redgum, this combo gives a lovely smoke. I usually put in half of the chips in at the start and then redo the other half of the chips 45 mins later.
As far as a rub goes this is what I use/do:

Mustard – Squeeze on dijonnaise. (enough to coat ribs) - then put on RUB

RUB
Salt – 1 Tablespoon
Brown sugar – ½ cup
Smoked paprika – 1/3 cup
Sweet paprika – 1/3 cup
Black pepper – 1 teaspoon
Cumin – 1 teaspoon
Onion powder – ¼ cup
Garlic powder – ¼ cup

Cheers
