Good afternoon, I have just one more question. As I mentioned in a another thread today, I'll be breaking in my new Smoke Hollow #6 smoker with babyback ribs. I'll be putting a full slab per rack, so I'll have to go vertically. Trying to smoke 3 slabs (forget the veggies!)
Is there a...
Thanks! And the ribs will draw in during cook, so they maybe/should fit after a couple of hours of smoke.
I'm going to be using a new propane cabinet smoker (Smoke Hollow #6) instead of my Weber-Cajun Bandit hybrid. I was planning on using the upper rack space for smoking some veggies or...
Good morning!
This weekend I'll be smoking my first sets of babyback ribs on my smoker. This morning I discovered a slight slitch in my plans... the racks are about 2" longer than the interior width of my smoker. They won't quite fit diagonally either. So to get the ribs into the smoker...
Hey Tony, I'm across the river from you... if you ever need a spare body for a comp, give me a shout! I don't have a lot of experience, but I can carry and haul stuff :) .

Good evening! I've been doing a lot of smoking using my Cajun Bandit conversion of a Weber OTG, but I'm looking to buy a propane smoker for the "simple" cooks where I don't want to mess with charcoal. Cost is a consideration... my budget is low. Also I have a specific requirement: I can smoke...
Can't foget the veggies...
And the finished product:
As can be seen in the photos, the temp swings caused the ribs to overcook... the meat literally falls off the bone. However... and this is very important... my wife LOVES them! And when the wife is happy, everybody is happy.

I tried it... within 5 minutes the temp was up 10 degrees. I think the updraft of hot air was pulling oxygen-rich cold air throught the bottom, around the ash-removal blades.
Justa reminder, this is not a Weber Smokey Mountain. It's a OTG with aspirations . The bottom isn't airtight.
Still having temperature problems. When I opened the grill to wrap, the oxygen exposure cranked up the charcoal. Even with all the vents closed, the temp soared to 300! I'm planning on just 90 minutes of wrap time now.
The water pan had boiled down low, so I added another half gallon of...
Not quite two hours, wrapped for the next stage. I was able to get the temp back down to 260, but the Weber is having serious temp swings. I think that next time I'll go back to my "Minion Ring" instead of a "Minion Pile" and see if I can control the temp better.
Update: having a problem keeping the temp low. The smoker is wanting to run at 280 degrees, not 225. I've closed the lower air intake completely, and reduced the upper exhaust to 25% open. This is a Weber OTG, so it's not as airtight as the real Weber Smokey Mountain.
But now I need to...
A couple of weeks back, I bought an extender from Cajun Bandit and modified it to be a low-budget smoker: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/128162/cajun-bandits-bbq-stacker Today is the big day... I finally get to try her out!
First, rub the babybacks with my custom rub. It's based on Myron...
