Hello! I'm Shane Beers, I live in Southern California and have been an avid fan of great BBQ and smoked meat!  I lived in Atlanta, GA and Huntsville, AL for quite some time so I'm quite familiar with good southern BBQ.

I have a 30" Masterbuilt smoker and a Smoke Hollow gas/charcoal combo grill.

I just broke in the Masterbuilt this last weekend with a small 4lb pork butt and a rack of spare ribs, the result was tasty, but I think I'll be doing some tweaking to cook times a little.

Look forward to talking with you soon!
 
Hi Shane, welcome to you.

If you don't already have one a very good investment

is a good thermometer.

The ones that come on most smokers are pretty big pieces of trash.

The ribs require a little testing with a toothpick, when it goes into them in the thickest

part with pretty much no resistance, they're done.

The butt you would want to cook by internal temperature.

I don't want to tell you something wrong, so I'll let you do a little reading.

Go up to the search put in spare ribs, 'cause it depends on whether you want

pulled pork or a slicing roast.

Or just jump out into the forums and scroll down to pork and ask away.

Enjoy and remember pictures are good things.

Welcome to the board! I was on a business trip to Huntsville, specifically Redstone. The missiles etc. were neat to check out but I was looking at the hills around town wishing I had time to explore them.

Thank you for the warm welcome! Yeah, Redstone Arsenal is cool place to visit! My father was stationed there in the US Army, so I spent on of time at Redstone!
