First time smoking EVER. Around 3, got my brinkmann all put together. Fired her up and sprayed the vegetable oil to cure it... did that for an hour had the thermo pegged on HOT.
I had my baby backs marinading in stubbs pork in the fridge for about an hour. membrane removed.
(keep in mind i have NO IDEA what im doing)
I was using kingsford Comp briquetes in the firebox, and 2 pieces of cal firewood. I dont even know if its oak or what..
let the wood go for like twenty minutes and pulled the meat out.
the temp gauge said, IDEAL. theres no degree reading.. ill need to get a good thermo today.
Tossed them in for mike 45 minutes, and had it on ideal for the 45. and around this time, it was like 7:30PM. so i needed to hurry it up. wrapped it, and boosted the temp for like 30 minutes, took the foil off and let it cook in the hot area for another 20.
When i tok the ribs out, they were uncooked in the middle. had to toss em in the webber gasser for like 10 minutes at 350... These ribs were NOT smoked. just cooked.
Meanwhile, im having continuous problems in the firebox. Coals were touching the side, and burned some of the paint off, the wood chunks fired up, even with the damper closed, and i could smell burning paint.. yum.
had to take some of the wood out.
got too cold.
