Did my first ribs on my new Brinkmann electric today. First time using big wood chunks too. Couple things
- Added too much wood at first and had a big flare up, ribs where tasty but a bit dry, I think that could have been why
- 45-50 degrees today, keeping consistent heat on this bad boy is tough. Can't afford the WSM yet, so oh well
- But the big problem, I was wiping down the smoker after cooking, the inside had condensation it it, I am guessing from the water pan. Anyway, I was wiping it down and along with the water and black soot, came the paint! I wiped it right down to the steel. Anyone seen that before?
I was surprised to see condensation actually, but for good chunks of time today I was around 200 degrees so I guess this makes sense.
Thoughts from the group?
