    First cook underway!

    Well it took 6.25 hours and they were very tender but not fotb....d efinitely got some great reviews from my guests but not as good as I had hoped which I think is directly related to my temperature being too low for too long. Next time I'm going to shoot for 250. I also really enjoyed the...

    First cook underway!

    Maybe that's why they aren't pulling back too much yet.....I was just following Chris' competition rib recipe....I think it's so the brown sugar in the rub doesn't burn. Do you think if I bump the heat and keep them in foil they will fotb?

    Is there a big difference between 215 degrees and 225?

    Wish I saw this before I panicked all day trying to get from 230-235 back down to 215-220...shaking my head and laughing at myself

    First cook underway!

    Thanks guys....I feel somewhat better now. They got hot...like 235 a few times but it was really only for a few minutes. Man do I hope these came out good. They have been on since 1245 ish and foiled at 345. Planned on unfailing around 530.

They are foiled with juice now anyway but I...

    First cook underway!

    So I went to the local market and got two slabs of baby back and decided I would try the recipe Chris had posted in the other section called competition ribs. Fired up a full chimney of kingsford blue and put some unlit briquettes around. The perimeter of the ring. Filled the pan and closed all...

    Ribs on WSM

    Fall off the bone tenderness can be achieved without using foil, but I never go for fall off the bone. To me they are overcooked when they reach that stage. As to your question about the water pan, my best suggestion is to try a couple cooks with water and then try some without to find out what...

    Ribs on WSM

    Ohhh yeah, Im thinking since this is the smoker's first cook I was planning on using water in the bowl.....yeah or nay? I know many say it doesnt matter but I was thinking since it isnt dialed in, it may be easier for me to keep my temps in the lower range many of the rib recipes call for

    What is best for first cook?

    Hey guys ....tryin to plan my first cook on my WSM 18 and what most of you recommend for a first cook that may be forgiving as I learn how to dial in my new smoker? I can get large Boston Butts from work for free but I'm not sure how forgiving they are? Ribs, chicken? Let's hear it!
