Just Learnin' in Bama

[Top2MP]

I just found you guys and like what I see. Y'all sound like a great group. I've had a gosm for a couple of years, but not much use because the spouse doesn't care for smoked meat. Grill all the time, but want to get better with the smoker, especially ribs.

I'm starting a standing rib roast this morning and any advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to SMF! Glad you found us!

Lots of info in the forums. I have never smoked a standing rib, but I would smoke it at 235-250°F smoker temp to 130°F internal meat temp, and rest it.

What wood are you using?

Hope this helps!

Take care, have fun, and do good!

Regards,

Meowey

Glad to have you and your GOSM with us at SMF! Hope I'm not assumin' by givin' ya a big Roll Tide welcome

!

Lots of great people here that share tons of info. Jump in and throw those questions out there if ya got 'em!

Welcome!

Welcome aboard! I have to agree with Meowey.....rub it with spices that you like and smoke it to an internal of 130-ish. Rest for about a half-hour and enjoy!

Simple seasoings for that are Lawry's seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper. Easy on the pepper unless you really enjoy the heat.

I like to trade out the black pepper for lemon pepper and add some sweet basil to the mix for a change of pace.

Ask questions and you will learn lots here!

L8r,
Eric

Thanks. Obviously I have to learn to navigate around this forum first. A double posting because I didn't.

To Meowey,
I'm using Hickory chips. I might have screwed up because I soaked them first.

[Top2MP]

Thanks, Pineywoods,
I currently have the temp at 225, but I also have billowing smoke. Suggestions on reducing the smoke?

 

[pineywoods]

GOSM gas??

 

[Top2MP]

Yes. I just checked and after closing all the vents down to minimum opening, the smoke has calmed down and is thin and blue. As I said, just learnin', and your advice is helpful.

BTW, I just signed up for the 5 day course. Thanks

 

[pineywoods]

Less chips you just barely want to see smoke or see none and just smell it. Apple chips are also a much milder smoke for future reference.

[bbqgoddess]

Welcome! Sorry I have been a bit MIA!
maybe if you get her involved with mixing a rub..or perhaps you thowdown a full brisket smoke...with a table set with some flowers and wine..she might be more available to smoked meat than you no...be creative...smoking low and slow can take awhile .......

 

[Top2MP]

Hey, Jerkyaddict,
The roast came out great. I don't know what qview is, but i 'spect I'll learn.

 

[Top2MP]

Bamafan,
My best friend lives in Crestview and is a smoker on occasion. I visit periodically. Maybe we can share some smoked delicacies.
