Run away temps on my Drum....Should I sacrifice my weber Kettle to the BBQ Gods??

[Philly-QueMaster]

I have the same lids that didnt fit right uniflame what i did was with pliers opened up the lip and the with a rubber mallet hit the rim down so it was tight to the rim of the drum and then hammered over the edge and they fit like a glove the ceramic coating flaked off but then painted them up and can even tell I even got the hinges to work after the fit nice

I will give this a shot. I did this for a smoker I made for my dad, I just flattened the lip out so it sat flat on the drum top. I didn't hammer it around the drum lid, but I will give it a shot this weekend. Thanks.

Can you give me an example - just for the sake of conversation. Not trying to start a :boxing:

IMHO, loin ribs do better at lower temps. With the direct heat of a UDS, I find they get a little crusty if I go above 250.
