Laying claim to my own smokers thread. Pics inside

[smokinn00blet]

1st off, this is the 2ed week of me smoking something and my goal is to post up what i smoke, with pics.

1st up is my spare ribs done on my gas grill last week.  1 burner on with a cast iron skillet on top of that with maple wood chips in it.  Apple juice and water mix sprayed every 45min.  The ribs got a store bought rubs(ill post up brand once i find the bag).  i just let them smoke for 4 almost 5 hours, applying store bought bbq sauce(jack daniels honey smokehouse) the last hour.  I applied the rub the night before.  Here is the pics of my 1st ever smoking

this week i did baby backs. 

I did 2 racks.  did a store bought rubs(refer to top post about the rub and bbq sauce).  Let set over night. Cut each rack in half since i was having people over to try them, ended up cutting the halves in half, so i ended up with 6 smaller racks instead of 2 big racks.

I got smarter and did the 2-2-1 method.  I still used the maple wood chips, rub and bbq sauce.  I did however buy a propane smoker.  Used a combo of bacardi oakheart spiced rum, water, maple syrup, and alittle bit of vinegar for my spray.

2 hours on smoke around 2-215 degrees, spraying every 30 mins. 2 hours wrapped in foil at around 225-230 degrees and sprayed them before they got sealed up in the foil. 1 hour with alittle bit of smoke at around 230 applying bbq sauce every 15 mins.

Let set for 30 while everyone piled in and i grilled some burgers just incase.

thanks man i was perty stoked when my spares came out good.  I looked and searched around on smoker boxes and stuff, then it hit me a cast iron skillet will work just as good and was cheaper than other smoke boxes i found.  I was surprised and the other guy i let try them was surprised they turned out good.  Success it was and the wife is happy and this is something she is glad i got into lol

Good luck and good smoking.

 very nice job on your first few smokes. I can't say my first smokes looked that good.

Great looking food.  This is the right place to learn.  It is good to have spousal support, but that can come pretty easy.  

A friend bought a smoker when his wife said no, but after the first bite, she was sold.

thanks and o yea this site has taught me alot on my 2ed smoke session.  I was reading thru this site while doing my second smoke and read about white smoke, looked outside and was like o crap thats not good and took care of that before i screwed something up.  Yea my wife was like you dont need a grill, bought it anyway(the one in the 1st post) did the ribs and then she said i could get a smoker(which i did its in the 2ed post lol) now she wants me to smoke more.

looks good from here

Thanks man

  The chow looks great. It's such a great hobby, isn't it?   I'm sure your Boston butt will turn out well too, they are very forgiving. There is  a good article on a basic pulled pork smoke in the wikis.
