Hi Weave,
Welcome. I work in Dublin, Ohio and use to use a chargriller but not the duo. One thing I had to do was make some modifications. Do a search on chargriller mods and you will be surprised what you find! Also, they need constant babysitting because of the thin metal the firebox is made...
I foiled for the first time ever on my last Butt smoke. The results were good but I really like the bark, so I am playing with a way to speed up the cook with foil and still get some bark on that meat!
When I do baby back ribs I foil after 2 hours for 1.5 hours then back on the smoker nekid...
Hi BCB,
I agree with Scooter's first point, I would not use plastic wrap for fear of what might be released in the cook process.
I also agree that you can get good tender ribs without foiling; however, I do foil and never have I experienced mushy ribs. With babybacks I use a modified 2-2-1...

Good luck next time around!

I have been a frequent poster on this site for the last several years but, alas, my job is interfering with my hobby these days.
I still smoke the occasional rack of ribs or a pork...
I regularly freeze extras when there is extra and they are still darn good after thawing and reheating. I wrap them in foil and stick Em in the oven at about 250 for about an hour or so. Not as good as fresh off the smoker but still very good!

Hi Sy,
Yep, Greasy Hill smoker indeed! Nice call. It has a few issues, specifically a big hotspot right next to the firebox. The baffle is too short, there is no counterweight, I could go on, but we smoked three racks of BBs that came out perfect!!
Thanks guys! Yep, he was having problems with really dark and bitter meat...turns out he was pouring the white smoke to everything, never good...creosote
