After 2 hours I have foiled my baby backs on my large green egg. 6 slabs. Now I can t get me temp below 350. Is this due to the foil radiating heat?

No this is due to a hot EGG. Lower vent open the thickness of a credit card, and top petals of the DFMT open about 1/4 to 1/2 way.
-
Am I screwed?
-
What was the temp when you went to foil? Did you leave the egg open while foiling?
No is the answer.

Not by a long shot. How long has it been at that temp?
-
250 went to foil left open. That's why it happened. What should I do at this point. I was planning on 2 hours foiled. They have apple juice in them.
-
Set the vents like my previous post and monitor the temp every fifteen minutes. Let the cool down be your guide, if it's back to 250 in 25 minutes then wait one hour and open one of the packages. You really want to see the meat on the middle bones pull back about 1/2 to 1" and the ribs to be very flexible. Might take an hour, might take 1.5 hours. once they are as flexible as you want remove from foil and back on, sauce after 15 minutes and keep saucing every fifteen minutes until they are firmed up to your liking.

I would suggest only 1 hour, but I don't foil anyway. Take a look after that and see where you are at. The only really negative I see, they maybe a little mushy.

:laugh: that's always your answer :evil:No is the answer -
I can't get the temp down. Hmmmm
-
Now when did I tell you NO? I might have quit pouring to early for you. :evil: :evil: :laugh:

:silly:

Pull a package after 1/2 hour, make sure to close the lid after you do, and start checking every 1/2 hour from there.
-
:side: what is your dome temp now??
-
350.
-
:unsure: probe touching foil?
-
Why don't you tell him to put some ice on the outside of the egg? :ohmy: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Mike -
you just did, so what will THAT do?
