To Cover or Not To Cover

That is the question...

I'm making a pot of Burnt Ends Chili on my UDS.

Do I cover it or not?

I'm thinking lightly covered with foil. What say ye?

Seems like the burnt ends are already smokey. I would be careful of adding any more smoke so I would cover. That being the case, cooking indoors on a stove would work equally well.

I agree 100%....but where would the fun be in cooking it indoors? I mean, if you keep giving advice like that, someone might take your BBQ Brethren card away.

I say cover. The smokiness of the brisket will come through, additional smoke is not needed. Also, when spicing your chili, make sure you take into account the rub from the brisket. I did not do that and my chili was way overseasoned.
