diffuser or waterpan
Well I have cooked 3 times on the uds. The first was the dropped butt. second I dried out some thighs third I overcooked some leg quarters. I have a hot spot that has to be attended to. I have some scrap iron here at work that could solve the problem. I have never had a smoker before. does the dripping that burn on the deflector give off odur>

Re: diffuser or waterpan
What type of temperature gauge are you using?
Have you tested it with boiling water and against a 2nd thermo that you trust?
How long did you cook the thighs that overcooked?
Is it a 55 Gallon?

Re: diffuser or waterpan
Think I figured it out. When I let my lit coals to the fire basket I let them out in the center of the basket
So I spread them out, made a makeshift water pan and scavenged a grate from a side burner off of an old gas grill. Will post pictures.

I use a diffuser. My design allows for very even air flow.
