    Baby back ribs not as tender in electric smoker

    My second stab at cooking baby back ribs in my Charbroil Electric smoker. I cooked 2 racks at 225 degrees using the 3-2-1 method. Every hour I sprayed them with apple juice and made sure I had plenty of water in the smoker. After unwrapping them at hour five, I sauced and cooked them for another...

    Searing pork chops in a cast iron skillet in the smoker?

    I'm going to try some pork chops in my smoker and have read a few recipes that suggest smoking the chops until about 100 degrees and then putting a cast iron skillet into the smoker to sear them and bring them up to 145 degrees. I like that idea but I'm wondering if you need to preheat the...

    Racks of lamb on a Char-Broil Electric Smoker

    First time baby back rib attempt on a Char-Broil Electric Smoker - a bit dry

    Just finished smoking my first racks of baby back ribs on my new Char-Broil Electric Smoker. Decided to use the 2-2-1 method on my first go. In the end, the ribs were tasty although a bit overcooked and a bit dry. Could the Char-Broil be a bit too hot at 225 degrees? I read a recipe from Steve...
