Aluminum Foil

BBQutie · June 06, 2005, 04:56:45 PM

Just got our BS SS and have only smoked once - planning to smoke again today with it (Baby Back Ribs - using bacon, my own dry rub, and then drizzling honey over them)
I've been reading recipes and notice a lot of people foil up their meat during the last hour or so. Our BS SS book says specifically NOT to use foil on the racks and pan - would that include not around the meat - or is that ok?
We don't have a regular stove here (we're roughing it in a cabin by the lake) - so I won't be precooking the ribs in the oven - I never did that before anyway. I let the ribs soak in some whiskey for a little while - and then caressed them with the rub. mmmm Letting it set for while before starting to smoke them.
we'll see how it goes - would be nice to know about the foiling before I start though.

Foil AFTER smoking is generally OK, just not before. It depends on if you like the crust crisp or everything moist. Personal preference, there are plenty of threads here to uphold the wonders of each method. Like an an a**hole, everybody's got an opinion & there's no right or wrong about it.[;)]

thanks for the info - the ribs were a big success last night - tender moist - flavorful - we didn't use any bbq sauce - i just drizzled honey over them before serving - was hoping for leftovers for today - but that didn't happen ha ha

as regards the nick - maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part [:o)]

I'm lovin this smoker - used to smoke the old fashioned way - charcoal, wood, this beats that all to heck and back again!

Do you all clean the grill really really clean when you're done? or is that black stuff inside the door and unit suppose to stay there for the 'seasoning'? we've been cleaning the heck out of it.

Going to try chicken thurs from the bradley cookbook - with maple syrup. I may put something else in there too - so as to not waste space (!!!) - something from a cow maybe - or i've been reading about those abt things - those sound pretty good :)

I just wipe the inside of the unit with a paper towel when finished. My BS is black as coal and perfectly seasoned I think. The seasoned smoker will still add flavours to your meats even after the last of the bisquettes have finished burning.
