UDS Rib Problem

Postby Swamp Donkeyz BBQ » Sun Dec 30, 2012 7:54 pm

I cooked some ribs in my UDS and crisped the bottom of them up pretty good. They weren't really burnt, just ugly as heck. Would a diffuser help with this or do I simply need to flip them? I'm hoping to use the UDS for my comp ribs. So ribs being ugly is an issue. Hope someone can help.

I don't have a UDS but my brother uses one in comps, he uses a foil turkey pan on the bottom shelf( like a defuser) and doesn't have any problems.
Cooks some excellent QUE.
Good Luck,

I don't think he uses water,he justs put the empty pan and puts his ribs over the pan. He also foils at comps. which turns out some great ribs.
I do put water on my Weber Smoky Mountain and it cooks great as well.

Two things 1) don't put you rack directly over the basket 2) if you have to go over the basket cook bones down and lay a strip of foil under the rack part way through the cook 2-3 hrs into it.
