The alternative is to take the lid off, and take the meat outside of the cooker to do your thing, and keep the lid on while doing it. This will reduce your temp spikes considerably. One thing I encountered in my cooks was excessive thick smoke and resulting creosote flavors from having the temp go way up and way down because of my lid removals. Best to keep the lid on and let the cooker do its thing. High temp spikes will really toughen up those ribs, if it gets too hot for too long. Dave |

Yep. That's what I do. It's not ideal, but taking the food out to work on it and keeping the lid on the smoker varries meat temperatures a lot less than a spiked fire - IMHO. I've been doing it this way since I built my UDS about 3 months ago and haven't had any spike issues at all to speak of.

Or just forget about the foil altogether. To me and I only mean me is learn to cook ribs without foil. Think about it foil hasn't been around forever.

So here is the begginings of my UDS
Drum... Had salad oil in it no liner.. Now the real question do i have to do a burn out or and other seasoning since it was salad oil in it ???? Coal Basket... Have a good friend that is a welder do all the welding for the box The inside of the drum no burn salad oil All fitings for air flow are in they arent quite 2" from the bottem tho will that be ok? 2 Cap air flow 1 Ball Lock air flow It had a sealed top that he chisled off but couldnt be saved. But Walmart has a chargril BBQ with a 22.6" Lid i assume this would work just fine and i can use the grates from it also? And well its only 40$. Total money spen would be around 80$

Big Dean,
Before you drop $40 on a new grill as a donor, I'd check out Craig's List first. You can usually find a cheap Weber that somone's done with for $25 or less. The grates may need a little TLC, but those are easy to clean and/or cheap to replace. As for the burn out, since it was a bare drum with vegetable oil already in it, I'd say just season it as is. A good hot (500*+) charcoal fire for a couple of hours should do the trick nicely I'd think.

Take a paper towel and rub it around the inside of the drum. If it's sticky or if the towel comes out oily, you're good to go. If you don't get anything on the towel, then just spray the inside liberally with a cooking spray.

A Harbor freight valve has a brass stud that is metric. A 5/16" allthread coupling nut screws on with a little persuasion, then drill and pin it to valve. Then 1/4" rod tacked to coupling nut and then to ground down 5/16" bolt to fit valve off handle. Search "Big Belly mod Norco"
