So, I took a trip with the wife to our local butcher, and armed myself for the weekend. Ribs are on today. Stay tuned for pics! And...away we go!!!
 
Well, it was quite a fight to maintain temps.  Wasn't the smoker so much as me committing the cardinal sin of resealing my smoker, and not doing a test burn to see how it behaved with the new seal.  Anyway, we've reached the foiling point...


And I added a little foiling juice, made from rib seasoning, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth.


Still going...
 
And here are the rest:

Wife decided to throw on some mac and cheese to smoke with me, using a four cheese recipe we found last year


Another view of the mac


Foil stage is done...time to glaze and let sit in the smoke again


Trust me...I'm a doctor


Other slab


Looking good, ready for another hour


Took the juice from the foil, added ketchup and honey, and reducing for a sauce


Mac is done...beautiful color and still tender


Finished product


There's the cheesy goodness


Cutaway


Dog loves his smoker, lol


Yep, it got hit hard


Another slice.  Would have been perfect, except I had to take a bite, lol


Well, there it is!  Flank steak tomorrow.
 
YUM!! Looks great!! :drool
I would love that Mac and cheese recipe to fix!
Hopefully I can get my smoker going next week and do q view of my first smoke:yahoo:
Really bad sinus infection right now.
 
Mcgallimore,

Sorry to hear you're under the weather. Get well soon.

I'll dig up the recipe (or link to it) and add in my wife's mods. It's good stuff. There's a good amount of Gouda in it, and it really takes the smoke well.
 
Thanks Red! Just getting warmed up. Gonna have the smoke rolling all weekend.
