Finally got to smoke with the Afterburner. Did some country style ribs, a shredded potato, cheese and egg stuffed fatty, and my first ABTs. Didn't get any shots of the prep but here is the smoker loaded up and ready to go.
The ABTs came off first. I only made eight as I thought my wife would only eat one and my son and I would eat the rest.
As it turned out, my wife didn't want any (she can't do jalepenos) and they were a little too hot for my son. He ate a couple then started stripping out the filling and left the peppers. I ate his leftover peppers and the rest of the whole ones. MAN those things are good. Noe I see what all the excitement is about.
Here is a shot of the fatty after it came off.
Capt Dan is a genius by the way. I used his "Zip Loc bag" method of rolling the sausage out and then rolling it up. That info should be a "sticky" in the new fatty section. It works great!!
Here is a shot of the fatty sliced.
I smoked the country style ribs to 175 spritzing with apple juice and Lord Calvert, then covered with foil in a foil pan to 185. They were pretty tender and juicy but could have been a tad more tender.
Temp control with the Afterburner was a breeze. All in all a very enjoyable smoke. Will have to make many more ABTs the next time we have friends over for a Q party, that's for sure.
