It has fallen to me to do ribs and tri-tip on Christmas. But, I am using my brother's stock kettle and not my modified tuned super familiar kettle. I am also using Royal Oak briquettes instead of the lump I am used to. I can't get the temps to settle down. Apparently, at least for now, I am no pitmaster.

Exactly right.... it will most likely work itself out.

And just in case, I've been known to go to the foil when cooking on a strange cooker that is running hot. I'll use it as a heat shield, a tent or even a boat.

You will tame it I am sure. I have the utmost confidence in your abilities. Go daddy go!

okay, got it going at 231F exactly for the past 4 hours. I forgot I had tri-tips on there, so they were pulled at dead medium, but, since they were smoked, I am hoping they turn out good. Now where is the camera?

From the looks of those pics... you nailed it...

Can we still call you a sandbagger for leading us on that you were gonna have issues on this cook ? :biggrin:

I made a few mods to Bro's kettle, since none involved a hammer, I figure I am okay.
