    Baby backs-My first Q-view

    I did three racks of baby back ribs today for my wife's birthday. I bought them from Costco and cut each rack in half. This is my first effort at Q-view. Hope it all works out. I used apple wood chips at 225 degrees. I used the 2-2-1 method but it really worked out to 2, 1-3/4, 1-1/4. They...

    GOSM model with drawers for pan, chip box

    Today (Sat., Jan. 9), I bought the medium-size GOSM at the Bass Pro Shop in Orlando. It was a new model that they literally put out on the floor as I was looking at the older floor model.
