Doing my first smoke as I speak.... ribs in at 7:30 a.m, the GOSM is holding the temp well, 225-235 and all is well. Planning on doing the 3-2-1 method for 3 racks and just leaving the other in the smoker to see what the difference will be. Q-view to follow...... man I'm getting hungry!!

Here is the q-view:



Rubbed with mustard and rib rub I bought.


Into the "Virgin" GOSM

Looking out in admiration...


After 3 hours of smoke getting ready to add liquid (Dr. Pepper) then back in for 2 more hours.


Coming out of the 2 hour phase



Coming out after the final hour....


Picture speaks for itself.......




My buddy doing a taste test........

Until tomorrow! Then is will be all sooted up and smell so good. Good idea about the tin foil.

I did the 321 for the first ribs I did and they turned out great. Looks like you on on way to a good start, keep us posted on the progress.

man those ribs look awesome for sure there Jet. One thing I have to ask you are at the end of a dead end right. Because if not I might just fine you and do a drive bye for some ribs.

I think my first smoke turned out very successful. Next weekend I'm going to tackle a brisket.

I just noticed your digital thermometer transmitter sitting on the top of your smoker. There were some posts the other day suggesting that not all thermometers can take the heat from the top of the smoker cabinet. I usually set mine up ona wooden 2x4 inch block when sitting it on top of my smoker cabinet.

Ya Old Dog.... I do plan on mounting it somewhere other than on the smoker itself.
