First Cook

[B. Shuma]

First cook on the 22.5 yesterday. I used the basic loin rib reciepe, but cooked lower and longer.

- Filled charcoal about 3/4
- Put 3/4 lit chimney on top
- 3 chunks Apple, 1 chunk Hickory
- Water pan full
- Ribs on
- It was a little windy, I closed the vent that the wind was going into all the way, others at 33%
- Stayed at 225 for a long time with no adjustments, went to 250 when the sun hit it (really shocked how easy temp control was)
- Sauced at 5 hours and 5.5 hours, then I pulled them off
- One rack was thinner than the other 2 and it was overcooked :-(
- The other 2 were awesome! So glad I got the WSM!

You got you some good helpers there. When they grow up they'll be telling folks "This is how my dad did it." Great looking ribs but better looking pit crew!
