1ST Smoke
« on: June 19, 2015, 09:13:27 AM »
WOW! I smoked a rack of ribs and the results were beyond my expectations and the ultimate critic ( my wife) said that they were the best I had ever done. Talk about "set it and forget it".... Although I do have some experience with offset and bullet type smokers I am by no means an expert. I marinated them over night in Goya Mojo Criollo which is similar to Sour Orange and then applied a homemade dry rub and let it set for 6 hrs. I set the smoker to 235 with 3 ounces of apple wood and 5 hours later the juiciest ribs I've ever smoked.
Thank to all the positive comments on this forum for convincing me to purchase this "Bad Boy"

And a successful 2nd smoke as well. I injected and rubbed a Round roast Friday then smoked it yesterday using your smoking times, temps and reverse sear as a guide. The results were great and the wife asked....What are you going to smoke next......I am getting ready to head for the market to get some beef ribs and chicken quarters. Thanks for the time and effort that you put into developing the guide it sure makes it easy to get good results right out of the gate.

Not quite like Prime Rib......But talk about taking an inexpensive cut of meat and making it taste like a million bucks! This Smoker is awesome.

My apologies for not posting some pics.......My eagerness to taste the results knocked it down on the priority list.
