My 3D has shipped....my first ever smoker.....

[Golfer1659]

This is my first smoker ever.  After doing a good amount of research I landed with SmokinIt 3D, from the reviews and seeing the forum I was thoroughly impressed.

I am super excited because I have always done a ton of grilling but never got into smoking.  I made some ribs for my block party last weekend with them in the over for 2 1/2 hours in the oven then charing them on the grill.  Me and a few buddies started talking about smoking and I just wanted to step my game up.


First smoke will be some ribs from Restaurant Depot......then I eventually want to do some brisket!!

Love the forum handle  , but would be great to have a first name in the signature line, too!  A BIG Congrats on entering the world of smoking the right way!  These smokers can turn anyone into a Pit Master in no time!  You'll love what you can do, especially if you follow along and try to repeat what a lot of us here do.  You'll find what works for you, and what doesn't.  Before long, you'll be hitting aces every time! 8)

Tony thanks man!!  Funny thing is I have a huge plan for my first brisket making this week.  I already pre planned to use your brine and then throw some Daves famous rub and smoke it for a long time.  Have the guys coming over to test run it and taste everything.  I will have photos!!!


Thanks for all the welcomes!!  I plan on smoking all foods at all my parties I have moving forward.  It is going to be fun!!!

Seasoning the 3D today..........this thing is awesome!!

 

[Golfer1659]

Seasoning.......

1st smoke either ribs or pork butt. If ribs follow the no peeking method, works perfectly.

 

[drains]

I vote for a big ole 10 pound bone in pork butt! Nothing is better for for a first smoke imo.

 

[DivotMaker]

Congrats, Kyle!  I, too, am a big fan of the bone-in Boston butt as a first smoke.  Really let's you see how she performs for the long-haul!  And, they're almost impossible to mess up!

 

[Golfer1659]

Here are the results......only one of the 3 blocks fully burned

Normal, Kyle.  You know, now, the hottest spot on your element is the middle.  Mine's the same way.  I try to avoid being right over that spot, but rather just outside it.

If it's dead center how do u put it to the side of its like a huge brisket, I'm assuming I will always use the top rack also since its furtherest away....

 

[Golfer1659]

Also do I put all the wood in the center of the heating element since its the hottest point?
