  • Looks like you fried your gasket.

    Pretty sure that was done a while ago :)). Definitely didn't do it on this cook because the picture showing the gasket is before the charcoal was really lit. Not to mention that I only cooked at 350 dome.

    @r270ba nice post. I'm definitely going to try this. Did you go 350 indirect the whole time? What was the approx cook time?

    I did 300-350 indirect the entire time.  For some reason during the middle of the cook when I opened the dome to take a picture my temp dropped below 300 and took a bit of time to recover.  I think I need to clean out the ash in the bottom again.  I would say it didn't stay below 300 for more than 10 mins and took maybe another 10  mins to recover fully to 350.  It took right at 2 hours to cook.

    I don't know how I missed this post. I picked up a rack at Costco today and figured I'd try one since I've never done it, and then I found this while looking for what to do with the thing. R270ba, how did you cook yours? Doesn't look like the rub from the link you posted.

    Sounds awesome. Can't wait to try it. Your rub/glaze sounds better than the hungry mouse post so I'll give something like that a try.
