Going to give this a shot for Turkey Day. I will submit my pics!!

Well, I tried this cook out last night and let me tell you, it was an A+!!. Great way to make a smaller prime rib. I had a thick cut 1 bone. Outstanding. Sorry for no pictures, it was eaten way too fast...

This looks amazing. One question I have is how long did it take to get to 130 IT? I want to do this cook, but was just wondering about the overall time for planning purposes.

Hello there. Loading the family up for a trip to Pigeon Forge. I am looking for suggestions of some BBQ joints to try along the way. We will be traveling 75 south from Cincinnati to Pigeon Forge. Let me know the places you recommend.

I did this rack on Sunday. Used my Camp Chef pellet grill and my TP-20 meat thermometer. Turned out excellent. Took them over to my brother's house for dinner along with his pork shoulder he made. Here's what I started with Rubbed them down with some Sweet Baby Ray's dipping sauce and...

I also follow the 2-2-1 method for baby backs, but I was also incorporating the TP-20. I found a spot in the rack where the meat is the thick and stuck it in there being careful not to get the bone. Once the my temp alert sounded I pulled the ribs and checked a few more spots to ensure the...

I got it figured out.  You have to turn all devices on with probes plugged in and then hold the mode button for 2-3 seconds and it will start to re sync.

This one was 5.99 per lb.

Thanks.  It was super easy and the family liked it just as much as a good steak.  

Sunday afternoon I tried my first tri tip and did it on the charcoal grill.  I got a little information and advice from dirtsailor2003 and I think it was a success.  The family wasn't sure what to expect and kept asking what it was, but the results speak for themselves.  They loved it.   Here's...

Hello all.  Smoked 2 slabs of baby backs this Saturday.  It was the first time I used my new Thermopro TP-20.   I did these using's Al's rub recipe and also as I read on another of his posts, did them without foil. Here's the 2 slabs pre-rub Here are the ribs after the rub, right before...

Gary, Awesome collection.  I am going to be doing brisket and your beans for Labor Day.  Are you aware of any other veterans on here with similar recipe lists?
