    First of all welcome to the forum.

    FTC ... F (wrap the meat in heavy duty foil) T (then wrap the meat in towels ... some folks pre-warm them in the dryer) C (then put the bundle in a pre-warmed cooler ... hot water works great for warming the cooler) ... this process allows the meat to be "saved" at temp for several hours in case you have to travel or you just finished the cook early.

    UDS ... Ugly Drum Smoker ... A 55 gallon steel drum smoker ... Google UDS Smoker and you'll see some plans.

    Try using the forum search box with "acronym" as the topic.  Or google "Big Green Egg acronym" for some of the other terms.

    Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  Acronyms may randomly appear and many do not have any connection to Q'ing or BGE.  It can happen in about any thread but to get a good dose check out the "Devastated" thread :peace:

    Welcome - and my personal favourites for BBQ include the difference between grate and grid - grate what the charcoal sits on, grid is what the food sits on. 
    Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

    I don't know what UDS is and I've been on this forum too long.
