    Anyone cooking pork to rare?

    When I cook to 165 IT I get almost full release from the bone but the ribs are well done and juicy. Texture is as described at 145 IT. I don't want rare but don't see a problem with it given new guidelines. I prefer the lower IT temps for babybacks and extra meaty back ribs.

    Mini WSM 14.5 rib rack

    Hi, I have a mini WSM, not a home built. I have seen several references to rib racks used in these. I have not found one that fits. Can someone provide a name/place to purchase, or a link for one that fits? Thanks in advance.

    Anyone cooking pork to rare?

    I have been cooking my babybacks to 165 with great success. They are tender and juicy. I have done pork tenderloins to 145. I still do my pork butt to 205 to pull. Not many on here subscribe to 165 IT ribs convinced they can't be tender. They aren't FOB, but they are by no means tough and they...

    First brisket in my mini WSM

    Hey from the Pacific Northwest!

    Hi, I would say short term you will be investing in equipment rather than eating out. Patience, a few tools and the ability to follow directions and you will be smoking meat like a champ. Especially with the support on this forum. Best to you from Oregon John

    First brisket in my mini WSM

    I made a rather detailed post earlier that deleted when I tried to add a picture. Short post now, won't separate point next time. I had to cut the flat into 2 pieces to fit it all in the mini. Next time I will just cut the brisket in half and separate the point after cooking. This is my first...

    Baby backs and spares!

    Babybacks have been tender at 165 for me. I am not looking for fall off the bone, but they have not been tough to chew. I tried it first at the recommendation of my butcher. I generally let them run a little over that but not much. I thought the point of the babybacks is they are a higher...

    Smoke Hollow gas smoker

    I had a large gas smoker, cant remember the brand name. It was sold locally by Bi Mart and when they went out of business, were replaced in Bi Mart by Smoke Hollow. Looked like same build, mine held up for years. I made some great food in it, but it was a pain in the ass to clean. I now have a...

    I have 2 grates in the mini. How did you fit a third? It is so short between the 2?
