I found Excel beef back ribs at Walmart. I’ve never done this cut and for the price, I was pleased with the outcome. Seasoned with Killer Hogs TX Brisket rub and spritzed every hour with beef broth and ACV. Smoked for 5 hours @ 230 on the Recteq. Thanks for looking.

Good to see you post, Al! What did you sauce those ribs with? The color is intoxicating!

Just outstanding!

Frying them on the smoker gave them a really nice extra flavor - to me, almost a slight hint of bacon from the hickory pellets maybe.

Thank you. I‘ve never had gizzards before - I need to try them.

Me and my wife went to a new restaurant last night with friends and chicken livers were on the appetizer menu. They were fair at best and left me only wanting really good livers. I’m always looking for new ways to use my smokers so I decided to fix cast iron skillet fried chicken livers on the...

18 hours on the Chimp with Bear Mountain Butchers Blend pellets. They produce really nice smoke throughout the cook.

When I want the best smoke profile and results I use my Char Griller Gravity 980. While not quite as convenient as my Chimp (it’s not far off), it delivers results I think are fairly close to an offset. I think the Gravity 980 may have been discontinued but Masterbuilt’s Gravity series might...

I picked up a used Grilla Chimp a couple years ago and have experienced the same issue with lack of smoke and smoke flavor with my cooks. I’ve used many different brands of pellets with no real difference. For Easter, I smoked 2 butts and used Bear Mountain Butcher’s Blend pellets for the 1st...

I’ve been trying to match the bark I get with the 980 on the Smokin It.

Thank you all very much!

Thank you! I recently joined Costco and saw that they always have pork belly available. I’d like to try that but would probably lean towards using the 980.

Did an overnight 10# butt on my new to me Smokin It #2 - turned out really well. I used 4 oz of cherry and a few chunks of lump charcoal. The smoke profile was very nice

Hello - I recently picked up a used Smokin It #2 and have been working to learn the smoker and get results that I am happy with. I got a 10# Boston Butt along with a ThermoPro wireless thermometer for an overnight smoke that turned out really well. I have a Gravity 980 that has been a great...

I’ve got a Gravity 980 and have been using Expert Grill briquets from Walmart. They are rumored to be made by Royal Oak. I’ve been pleased with them after many cooks and price is good.
