I used skewers from Wall Mart adapted by strong pliers, (IE, Bent to fit what I needed) And pushed through the meat. Haven't finished this idea yet. tying to get Pix and let ya'll see what I did after more 'engineering"
I noticed that they hung completely filling it from top to bottom with the tips about an inch from the lower rack. Worked well but the tips were a little overdone. Many more racks can be smoked at the same time since it wasn't overfilled by two!!!, Just haven't been able to do this yet.
Time was compressed simply caused by shortage of time and increase of temp, Still came out great. Neighbors, my wife, father inlaw, and of course myself, thought they came out great.
Some way of hanging then needs to be looked into. My way worked, but I know it can be improved, If I can get off the road long enough to do this, Experiments will continue, I will let you know what I did and see what the forum thinks,
This smoker requires you to "make smaller" ribs if you don't hang'em
Workin the issues, just interrupted by travel to give it time to get it right.
That smoker box is one heavy duty unit, I think it really helps to keep the temp static, however, I am reading and learning from others that have this unit and will listen and learn to use them and use mine better.
The vacuum sealer definetely aids the apple or other wood used, Using non soaked wood with the soaked wood has quite a bit going for it from what I have read and am going to try with mine.
This smoker has alot going for it, Ain't big, throttles are touchy to say the least, But i haven't had a bad smoke yet Regardless of what I have tried,
Fish, chicken, ribs, cornish game hens, ribs, corn etc.. If any one can get it wrong, my 25 years of trying has been really good educationally (costly)
weather, for some reason, doesn't seem to affect this smoker as yet, Wind plays with it, but hasn't caused any troubles except worrying about it while it does it's thing. Rain hasn't cooled it off, however mine is somewhat protected from rain.
More to come, just need time to do it
Thanks for the education from those that have this, I am Listening!!!!
