    Baby backs and Spares same smoke

    The ribs turned out pretty good considering I got a late start on them. It sure was alot easier using the AMNPS than reloading the chip tray. I have a few pics of the end product, just trying to get them from the camera to the computer. I didn't end up doing the chicken, so that will be for...

    Baby backs and Spares same smoke

    Thanks alot guys. Really heplful info. Of course just like the last time I did a smoke it is raining here again so I hope the moisture won't be an issue. I'm still pretty new to all this and that makes 3 out of 4 smokes where it will be raining during the process.

    Baby backs and Spares same smoke

    Is there a time frame for the breasts, or just go off internal temps. I was also thinking of trying apple pellets. That ok for ribs and chicken?

    Baby backs and Spares same smoke

    Forgot to mention I might throw a couple chicken breasts on for my mom since she isn't a rib fan. Never done chicken so any suggestions would be awsome!

    Temp Probe on MES 30

    I also wonder about the accuracy of the factory sensors. I found a 13 degree difference in the meat probe to an external one I was using with the factory one being the higher of the two, but when the same external probe is just hanging through the vent to compare cabinet temps to the factory...

    Thanks for all the info. I will definitely look into the 5 day e-course. Sprky, I put a little apple juice in the foil, but i didn't spray durning the first 3 hrs, will have to try that next time. Gersus, I didn't realize you can use the water pan empty, i just figured you should fill it up all...

    The weather here was supposed to be sunny & 45 degrees. Instead, freezing drizzle when I started & about 40 & foggy by the time I was done, 12 hours total. The butt got up to 198, stayed there for almost an hour. When I tried to remove it, the bottom of the foil ripped & lost all the juice. Used...
