@Bearcarver  I made another prime rib yesterday similar to how you do yours. It always amazes me at how good they are. It is by far my favorite smoked food. 
My Favorite too!!  And they're so Easy!!

I'm glad you like it, and thanks for letting me know. So many people that use my Step by Steps, never make a comment on my Index, or on the individual Step by Step. I love to hear from them.

Absolutely!  To tell you the truth, some people are confused on what points are( I was.)  When we ask newbies to introduce themselves we need to introduce ourselves and explain how to express appreciation on SMF and what points are ( that they aren't hand out's and truly make someone else's smoke a very good experience.)  Feedback clarifies everything, especially when Bear and others spend so much time giving wisdom to save us time and make a potentially disaster into Utopia.

Exactly!!

Hearing the success stories from the many people who use my Step by Steps always makes my Day, and makes the time I spend on them all worth it.

Bear, I have refered to this list many times as a springboard to smoking in my MES 40" and have had great results (except for ribs, can't seem to get them quite right no matter what I try...ugh). Thanks for posting such a comprehensive list and step-by-step guide. It's been amazingly helpful in the year that I've been smoking. 
 
Jay, its so funny you say that.  I've failed on my ribs.  A couple of racks already.  But last night I hit a homerun.  I followed the 3-2-1 method exactly, and it worked.  Kept my temps +-15F of 225F.  They were finally FOTB (well not mush, but with a nice pull, the meat slid off the bone).  If I can get it right, so can you!  How are you doing yours?  I used to not foil, but foiling is definitely the right way to go.  Also, the times need to followed exactly.  The previous ones I foiled I think I messed up on the times (pulled too soon, foiled for too little etc).  You have to go by the minute on this one!

I'm glad my Step by Steps are helping you to have fun, & great food too!!

The problem with Ribs is that everybody wants them perfect, and sometimes it's just the Ribs, because you can do the exact same thing with two different racks & get different results. You don't usually learn that until you've done a bunch of them. They'll all turn out fine, but sometimes not as perfect as other times. It's just the nature of the Beast.

Keep on Keepin' on!!

A big Second to what Bear just said. And not just ribs, I have smoked 2 pork butts that were the same weight and looked liked twins and one took longer to cook.

The more you smoke the easier it gets.

Thanks for the amazing index Bear!

As a newbie to the forum and also to smoking, your index has given me great reference points. Although I did not follow your recipes, the time and temperature portions have given me a ton of confidence as I experiment with my new MES and different smoked meats.

I have used your chucky, baby back ribs and salmon steps so far with increasing levels of success. From here forward I will leave comments directly on each step by step.

Thanks again for making this so much easier for us all!

 

P.S. I hit one out of the ball park with your Salmon steps!!
 
After looking at this thread I think the Prime Rib is next on the list.  Looks really good.  Thanks for putting that together Bear.

Thank You Neighbor!!

Smoked Prime Rib is about the easiest thing to Prep & Smoke, and it gives you the Best Reward.

You'll love it.

I usually get my Prime Ribs at Giant (Trexlertown) or Weis (Macungie) during Christmas Week (usually the best sales then).

I hope I don't have to wait until Christmas to find this.  I seem to have problems finding meat sometimes.

have you ever tried the Walmart on Hamilton for meat?  That seems to be the only place I can consistently find boston butts and packer brisket.  The last brisket I found there as select but it turned out pretty good.  Really looking forward to the Costo coming next summer.

I find a decent sale now & then at other times of the year, but the best sale is usually Christmas Week.

I never get to Walmart, and I didn't even know about Costco coming to near us.
