Thank Mike, that is what I started doing a bit ago. Maybe added 10 or so unlit spread about, will slowly add more as those fire and as I need. Looks like my Butt is now at 175 (was at 180 an hour ago). Guess it is time to take a peek at those and see what the heck is going on jamie

Well, just wrapped the 2 butts in foil and put them on bottom rack. They have been holding at 180 for some time. They look and smell fantastic (well now they just look like a football wrapped in foil). Rolled the 4 racks of spares and added them to the top rack, added 2 chunks of apple and 1.5...

Just woke up about a half hour ago (6:30am central). Flipped the butts over and left them on their respective racks (top rack butt is a bit larger). Dome was holding at 240 or so. Inserted a probe into top butt and we are reading 169 (was holding 170 before I walked my dog) right now. Think...

I put 2 butts (12.5 lbs total) on about an hour ago, WSM is humming away at 250 in the lid with 4 hunks (kinda smaller) of apple and 1 decent chunk of hickory. Have 4 slabs of BRITU spares in the fridge waiting to go on in the morning, hopefully done in time for the Cubs game at 12:20 Here's...

I just paid for what I took, and they put the tips out in a pile on the table next to the full spare racks. After you get the ribs trimmed you take the bag and go to a separate part of the store (the non-refrigerated side), where they actually weigh and charge ya. So I probably saved myself a...

To answer my own question: I was in Peoria Packing last night grabbing 4 racks of spares and there were barely any people in there so I was able to actually talk to the guys behind the counter when they were trimming my ribs. After he cut the rib tips off for me he asked if I wanted the chine...

Ribs turned out better than I could have imagined. Being my first WSM run, I was planning on mixed results. After the chicken came off as good as it was, I figured the ribs had a good shot and being good. After the chicken came off I unrolled the ribs, sprayed with apple juice and laid the...

Chicken came off. Threw it on gas grill for a few to crisp the skin. WOW. Best chicken I have ever eaten. Nothing better than a Cubs game and carnivourism and no one can stop talking about how good the chicken is. Can't wait till the ribs. If they are nearly as good as the chicken they are...

Well, just put the meat on about 30 minutes ago for my WSM's first run. 3 rolled racks of baby backs on top (BRITU rub, 8lbs total weight)) and 2 butterflied chickens on the bottom (with a Famous Dave's chicken rub I found at a local store, 8lbs total weight). Had to use Weber Hickory chunks as...

Yeah if you live in Chicago area, you MUST try Peoria Packing for your smoking meats. It is on 1300 W Lake Street, just west of the Loop (312-738-1800). Believe they are open 6am-6pm M-Sa, but call to check. I wasn't sure what to expect my first trip there (I was expecting butcher counter with...

Just had a few questions. I like to get spare's at Peoria Packing as it is only 3 miles from my home and you can't beat the price and selection. For anyone that has been there, do you have them cut the slab on the saws for ya? If so what do you have them do? I bought 3 slabs a few weeks...
