    Masterbuilt XL got a workout this weekend ABT's, Wicked Beans, Spares/Baby Backs with Q View

    Great looking chow! I do not foil my ribs any longer but in the old days before my xl...when I use to just grill them...I wrapped and cooked them for about 2.25hours @ around 250. Great taste but that was without the even better smoke flavor. Guess it is just a matter of trial and error...but...

    Hello from Carmel, Indiana

    Think I need a shoulder to cry on rather than trying to eat the one I cooked earlier.  But, I learned a valuable lesson; cook by temperature, not time.   This one wasn't quite done.

    Ok, where did I go wrong?

    Been smokin' a whole two weeks, but read all day every day.  Thought I had it all figured out.  First smoke (last weekend) wasn't impressive.  Read more and thought again that I had it all figured out.  Same results this week (this time with family over, ugh!).  Outside inch or so of the meat...

    Hello from Carmel, Indiana

    Just past the midway point on the shoulder.  I see the bark forming (that I've read so much about).  Just put the ribs on along with some more cherry chips.  Five more hours to go. I just have one thing to say to the shoulder...."Prepare to meet thy doom". This site is super cool and surely...

    Hello from Carmel, Indiana

    Thanks for all the tips.  Here is an early photo....near real time.  Picnic is on (mustard glaze then course rub with a homemade dry).  I'm using cherry to start.  Ribs go on right around noon.  Feast at 5 PM.
