I only made Alabama white sauce here in Australia for the first time a few weeks ago, man have I been missing out, I saved some aside then last week added blue cheese to it, now that’s on another level, love it
Just tuned in to watch after I saw Frank’s post that you did this. Great build! Glad you captured that the big holes can sometimes be difficult. In case someone is going to do this, you have to file around the holes or risk getting cut by the sharp jagged pieces that stick out after drilling. Now, you’ve got to get paint it and put on your logo! Chud’s BBQ recently did an Alabama white sauce chicken, but you made your version distinctive! Hope to listen to you soon on your regular spot on BBQ Central!👍
we had something similar in upstate NY where i grew up called "Cornell Chicken" but it did not have horseradish in it, just garlic, apple cider vinegar and poultry seasoning. I have those same Hexclad salt and pepper grinders Susie!
I was also raised in Utah and I've never heard of Alabama white sauce. And I've been doing a lot of BBQ, sous vide and smoking the last 5 years. Going to have to try it. I just did Todd's smoked queso and it is AWESOME!
I wish I could comment with a picture because I bought and assembled a kit from Frank also. I used my own barrel that I got locally for $25 but the kit i bought was around $400. It is by far my favorite cooker. I've done everything on it from chicken wings to brisket. That "magic" you referred to I think comes from the rendered fat dripping down on the hot coals and flavoring the meat. I know you're going to love it. A lot of people say they can't get their drums to run much under 300 degrees but with the kit I got from Frank I can run mine at 225 all day long with a basket full of lump charcoal (hence the briskets) and the smell coming out of that drum is ridiculous. If you can get your drum to run low and slow I HIGHLY recommend giving it a shot. Once I dial mine in I can go to bed (and have) for several hours and wake up to check on it and it's right where I left it. I really can't say enough about my drum accept I wish I had five more. lol
I built my own UDS from scratch. I first started regulating the air in with valves. I had to adjusted it quite often and baby sit it. I bought a TipTop Temperature regulator and I set it and forget it now. I can smoke brisket for 14 hours easily with one load of lump charcoal.
I was introduced to Alabama white sauce when I lived in Alabama for 2 years. It's incredible how such a simple sauce can taste so amazing, especially on chicken.
I heard about AL white chicken a few years ago and we love it. I might do some again soon actually after watching this. Congrats on the drum smoker and great job building it. Frank is a great guy.
This drum build for Susie is a game changer she will never see bbq the same, now that she a pit maker! Haray Sus. I myself have build two uds, just for myself.
Huntsville Alabama native here. Grew up on Gibson’s bbq. White sauce for chicken is awesome. Unfortunately I can’t have stuff with egg in it, so I can’t enjoy white sauce with chicken anymore. 😞
I had never heard of Alabama white sauce until I ran across your blog a few years ago. I have since made gallons of it for my family and my neighbors since then. I actually made a minor change in the horseradish use. I use prepared wasabi. Gives it a little different kick.
Came across Dukes Mayo a while back while on vacation in Florida, Tried their Alabama White Sauce, WOW my new favorite BBQ sauce.. Now I'm gonna give your recipe a shot. Thanks!!!!
I use one for my kettles sometimes! I find my drums hold temperature so consistent that I don't need it. Plus, I like to do all my temp control on my drums with the intake and leave the exhaust wide open.
I don't always use power tools, but when I do...I wear sandals and my helper has Crocs. Safety first! ;) Looking forward to seeing you use this in the future.
Looks delicious and neat DIY drum smoker I have noticed you are using two cameras but often you are presenting to the wrong camera which looks kinda strange. If you get a pair of broadcast cameras and a desk switch, whomever is directing can switch from one camera to the other and a light on top of the camera turns red to show which one is live feed. I hope you don't mind me mentioning it but have noticed this in a lot of recent videos, I watch them all. Love the channel and the products.
I’m trying to figure out what to use for videos. Right now I’m using an iPhone 14+. Not really sure what the best thing to get started with for my content is.
TONS of people use their phones for shooting videos. It's a perfect jumping off point. We have a video coming up on the channel soon that was shot on iPhone 14s as well.
I was going to make some chicken leg quarters with Alabama white sauce yesterday. When it came time to get the sauce on however, things were a little chaotic with the 2 and 4 year old being hungry and demanding. In my rush I grabbed the wrong sauce and ended up with black truffle mayo chicken. Everyone loved it though. Happy accident 😅
I wanted to sauce to carry a lot of the flavor for this recipe and my chicken seasoning is pretty bold. Didn’t want those flavors competing for attention.
Susie, great vid but please, please don't EVER use an electric drill without tying your hair back. If it had got caught in the drill, you would have faceplanted the turning bit before you even realised something was wrong. Really neat to see you doing the assembly. That sauce would also go well on freshly boiled potatoes while they are still hot.
I grew up in DC. We have folks from all over the country here. I was exposed to many bbq styles, mainly from my time in the Air Force. Not a fan of Alabama white sauce.
Great build/assembly and cook. However the echo in the audio when recording more indoor is really bad. Almost sounds worse than the earlier cooks in the new studio. Sorry Suzie but I had to cut this video short just due to to audio
Great work my friend! 🙌🏾 I love the Alabama white sauce.

Great job with assembly! I didn't know Alabama White Sauce until I got into BBQ either, about 20 years ago, so you're not alone!

This is reminding me of when I built my UDS from scratch. It was a fun project and I find it fun to cook with.

I did not know about the Alabama white until I got into Q. You do an amazing job with these videos. They are a pleasure to watch. Thanks.

It's tuff watchin newbys drill hole's .... Let'ter Rip~n~dig! oh hang on too! lol
I could feel the cringing from people with far more experience. 😂😂😂
Solid. Enjoyed! Didn't grow up in AL but family definitely introduced me to Alabama white bbq

I did a smoked turkey last Thanksgiving... shredded it and mixed it with Alabama white sauce. It was a hit!
Came across Dukes Mayo a while back while on vacation in Florida, Tried their Alabama White Sauce, WOW my new favorite BBQ sauce.. Now I'm gonna give your recipe a shot. Thanks!!!!
BBG white sauce is the bomb. I worked in Alabama for a few years and lived 1/2 mile from one of their restaurants. Will definitely try your recipe.
I never heard of it till I was older and unfortunately I still have never tried it. I may try it this weekend!
TipTop Temperature regulator is a game changer for an UDS. Set it and forget it. I can smoke for 14+ hours on one load of lump charcoal at 225°F.
I use one for my kettles sometimes! I find my drums hold temperature so consistent that I don't need it. Plus, I like to do all my temp control on my drums with the intake and leave the exhaust wide open.
@@Heygrillhey I leave my intakes wide open, same effect I suppose.
Great Video and I live about 45 miles from Big Bob's in Decatur AL so I love White Sauce. Looking forward to trying it with your "juiced up" version
I don't always use power tools, but when I do...I wear sandals and my helper has Crocs. Safety first! ;) Looking forward to seeing you use this in the future.
Luckily no feet were hurt during the filming of this video!😂
Must have never worked in Florida. We do everything in sandals and crocs
I was today years old when I heard of Alabama white sauce
We get to see the inside of the smoker this time 👍
I had white sauce once in Alabama, wasn't really a fan..(born and raised in Texas 😂) That being said I might try it again some day.

We just do short cuts over to that angle to give the brain a rest. We like that style so we’re sticking with it for now.
it's been a long lime since I've seen a corded electric drill used on youtube
Nice job!
When smoking a bird for others, I'll cut the wings off & save for me. :) If it's for the family, they stay on, tucked.
When drilling in to metal, slow down the speed 😊
Susie was a first-timer lol. She’s much better prepared for next time. -Brandon
Impact on the holes. Drills can twist a rust 🤪
Hey there just a quick question. How many metal shavings did you get while wearing sandals?
None! The Crocs didn't see any either.
I've never heard of Alabama White sauce until this video.
Can I ask what salt & pepper grinders did you use and can you please provide a link for them. Thx
They're from HexClad!
Great video. So what is the white camera and mic yall are using to video with.
It's a Cannon M50 that were retiring soon and Sennheiser wireless system that'll probably get an upgrade as well.
I’m trying to figure out what to use for videos. Right now I’m using an iPhone 14+. Not really sure what the best thing to get started with for my content is.

Love all your videos. Great job on the drum. One thing can we work on the audio? Cheers
We switched to a brand new setup for this one. It's dialed in now!
Every time I think we have it dialed in, I'm wrong haha! We'll get there, please have patience with us!
that drill is about to go up in smoke from stalling it
Nice build and cook! Todd should have painted it first for you tho...LOL!!
We're going to leave it raw for some patina!
Ahhh....Would be a rusted heap in a year here in Indiana!! 😂
I love the drum smoker and I love my 22” Weber smoky mountain they always do the job and that chicken looks 🔥Susie with your beautiful self😍
Nice pink crocs😂😂😂
Thanks!
Question. Why you using your beef rub on chicken? Yeah you can use it on anything. But don’t you have a chicken seasoning?
I wanted to sauce to carry a lot of the flavor for this recipe and my chicken seasoning is pretty bold. Didn’t want those flavors competing for attention.
@@Heygrillhey I have to buy your chicken seasoning.
Susie, great vid but please, please don't EVER use an electric drill without tying your hair back. If it had got caught in the drill, you would have faceplanted the turning bit before you even realised something was wrong. Really neat to see you doing the assembly. That sauce would also go well on freshly boiled potatoes while they are still hot.
Yeah, it was an oversight for this video. We'll be safer next time!
I’m with you on being star struck. I probably wouldn’t be able to put two words together if I met either one of you.
I grew up in DC. We have folks from all over the country here. I was exposed to many bbq styles, mainly from my time in the Air Force. Not a fan of Alabama white sauce.
Great build/assembly and cook.
However the echo in the audio when recording more indoor is really bad.
Almost sounds worse than the earlier cooks in the new studio.
Sorry Suzie but I had to cut this video short just due to to audio
We'll figure it out one day.
Please wear something on yr feet like boots when dealing with a drill and hot metal shavings, or even is they are not hot. Be safe!
Luckily I was unscathed! I'll be better next time though.
for the last 23 years, During the safety portion of my class, I tell my students to tie back loose hair and wear closed towed shoes.
Good work!
