We got some snow yesterday, which means I must cook today.

Fired up newly built UDS for first time.

Charcoal basket

15-20 hot coals laid on top

Rib roast was rubbed with a paste (thx brethren!) olive oil, thyme, crushed garlic, coarse ground black pepper, sea salt & montreal steak seasoning..and sat for an hour in saran wrap getting to room temp.

Yes , yes it is chicken wire, and yes it is galvanized :eek:.

Not to worry though...during my seasoning process I filled the basket to the brim with charcoal & lump, and ran the drum hot (350+) for hours on end.

during a normal cook of low & slow the basket will never hit the temps it did during the burn-in process, so I am not concerned about any out gassing beyond what happened during burn-in.

it is not a food contact surface, and should not cause any issues...
A little zinc is good for ya :mrgreen:

EDIT: For those who remained concerned that a small amount of contact with fire & zinc coating should read this: http://www.candles.org/elements_wicks.html - last paragraph on page: The metal-core wicks sometimes found in candles are typically zinc- or tin-core wicks. They are most often used in container candles and votives to keep the wick upright when the surrounding wax liquefies. Scientific studies have repeatedly shown both zinc- and tin-core wicks to be safe.


They use zinc core in candle wicks?? who knew...

How long to cook that puppy? (not the 4 legged one) Looks like about 3 ribs from the big end.

It took about 3:30 hours at ~225 to get to 125 internal then I reverse seared it on the performer at 500.
