    First Smoked Ribs am I being to picky

    Ok it does seem like I over cooked a bit I think I'll try 2-2-.5 then test a piece. Regarding the marinade I was in tha frame of mind when I rubbed them the night before but worried I removed to much moisture as the salt content of the rub did pull at least cup if not more of liquid from the meat.

    What would Elvis smoke?

    He used to get the BBQ Pizza at Colleta's all the time so I'm thinking he's smoking Pork Butt then finishing the pizza on the grill. Although in his song Promise Land he does have a T Bone steak A la carte.

    Brinkmann Smoke King Deluxe value?

    Although I don't need it but saw a Brinkmann Smoke King Deluxe in average condition on CL. They are asking $100 it appears to be a sister to the New Braunfels Bandera.

    While smoking on my Weber Kettle one morning my dad shows up after visiting a local yard sale with a Brinkmann Pittmaster Deluxe on the back of his truck.
