JordanLitro Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Ugh! The Komodo was a bit low 190-200 when I set at the usual 225 settings for smoking So I left the intake the same but opened the damper up... and after 30 mins was 225... Put ribs on and went to bed last night And woke up to black burnt to a crisp ribs and grill at 400 !! Grill is super black inside You think after I take everything out and clean it I can cook again ? My fear is the burnt stench is caked inside Not sure if ok to cook again Or if there is something more I am supposed to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5698k Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 If you’re concerned, get a hot fire going, about 600*, and let her rip. Hotter isn’t really necessary. If you’re up to it, let it burn a basket of coal completely. It’ll be clean enough after that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C6Bill Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 The grill is absolutely fine. But two things, there is no need to be cooking ribs overnight. And I wouldn't suggest using the lower grate, the main grate is perfect for ribs. Try this. Four hours at 250 then wrap in foil and cook for another hour. You can adjust from there 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C6Bill Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 I saw your pic in the other thread you started. I replied to that one, you are fine. I'd also suggest watching a lot of the instructional videos here on the site, Dennis makes the process really simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted Saturday at 11:55 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:55 AM You are good to go on a daytime batch of ribs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisLinkletter Posted Saturday at 06:45 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 06:45 PM I suggest you don't do anything. That black jacket of oil and smoke protects the material from moisture. Cement is hydroscopic, but the oil in the walls makes it hydrophobic.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
