That's just the good oozes the eminate from you smoking endeavors!!!! Some like the buildup to help seal the lid to the UDS.

Just my take.....

Paul's right; it helps the lid seal to the drum. I wouldn't fret over it too much.

But mine isn't like tar. It's more like black/dry/flakey. About once a year I give it a quick de-scaling with a wire wheel on a angle grinder. It's a nasty job.
