First attempt at ribs AMNPS & MES

smoking b · Dec 16, 2012

Finally gonna try my first ribs on the MES 30. I just put them on at 6. I am going to use the 3-2-1 method & the AMNPS. I'm trying out some oak pellets this time. I haven't smoked anything with oak yet so I figured I'd give it a try. I didn't have my camera handy when I was blundering around this morning but pics are definitely coming as time goes on...

EDIT: I may throw some more salt on as well & probably a couple potatoes & hopefully I will be able to end up with a tasty lunch - wish me luck! Updates to follow...

Love some ribs...... I use oak for most of my cooks. It is what we have on the property and we save the branches we trim. I do find it is diffrent than the oak I get at comercially....

You may need to keep an eye on the salt in the MES with the ribs. The moisture may cause an issue with that.

Ok the ribs got done & I took them out. They were great! I am well satisfied with how they turned out! I used Chef Jimmy's foiling juice & have to give it my approval as well - thanks!

Almost forgot the taters - they were good too

Well I consider my first rib attempt a success & I will be making them again for sure! I also didn't run into any troubles with moisture & the salt. I kept an eye on it just in case. I left it in to keep smoking for a while longer. Once it's done I will let the smoker cool down & then throw in some cheese...

Thanks SMF!

That looks just FANTASTIC and that finishing sauce is the ticket you used from Chef JimmyJ... I smoked several pork butts last weekend, chopped and finished them with that sauce, just amazing...

Thumbs Up

Great job....

Glad to hear the salt worked out too. I was just concerned with the moisture in the chamber. I get a lot in the MES we use at work....

I think ribs are next on my list, looks yummy!

Thanks! I kept an eye on the salt in case & didn't have any issues with it. I took it out at 3:30 & am waiting on the smoker to cool down so I can smoke some cheese

I am loving my AMNPS too. After 9 1/2 hours of smoke in my setup I still had over a row of pellets left - pretty efficient!

Thanks SQWIB! I couldn't be happier with how my first ribs turned out. They were nice & tender but not fall off the bone mushy - you still had to pull a wee bit to bite it off the bones - Perfect to me!

As far as the AMNPS goes I am really pleased with how it works in that configuration - really glad I decided to try the disposable roasting pan out...

Look great. Welcome to the rib addiction portion of the group.
