    New WSM 22.5 - First IMPS #130 Beef Chuck Short Ribs

    Finally got around to smoking some beef short ribs on my new WSM last weekend. Beef ribs come mainly in two IMPS cuts, the #130 are the chuck ribs, above the brisket area. They are ribs 2-5 and come 4 ribs to a rack. The IMPS #123A short ribs are in the short plate area behind the brisket, and...

    What To Do With a Pork Loin Rib Half???

    OK, pork aficionados, what do I do with this? I have to admit, being from Texas, I am a beef guy.  We can talk brisket, beef chuck short ribs, beef plate short ribs and beef shoulder clod all day. But, other than pork ribs, bacon and ham, I’ll admit I’m pretty ignorant about pork. And, in the...

    First Baby Backs on 22.5 WSM

    Who doesn't like a good rack of baby backs? I always had problems doing baby backs on my stick burner, as I could just never get the temp to stay low enough.  So, I usually always smoked spare ribs, so I wouldn’t dry them out.  Now, with the WSM being able to stay right at 225* and using the...

    First Smokes on 22.5 WSM - I LOVE This Smoker

    After getting in my new 22.5 WSM and playing with it last week, I couldn’t wait to smoke something over the weekend. So, I thought I’d just try a couple racks of spare ribs and a double-smoked ham. But, then I got to thinking, let’s push it and see if it will do what my old stick burner will...

    New WSM 22.5 – Needing Advice

    Even though this is my first post to the Charcoal Smokers section, I have posted several to other stick burners and Old Country Wrangler smokers threads.   I’ve been smoking meat for a lot of years, and have been using an Old Country Wrangler stick burner for the past 3-4 years.   I have smoked...

    Thanksgiving Spatchcocked Turkey Breasts on my Old Country Wrangler Smoker

    First off, I’d never smoked a turkey until this time last year.   It turned out so well, that I tried my hand at smoking just the breast a couple of times afterward.  They were so good, that I thought I’d try it for the entire extended family for Thanksgiving this year.  So, I asked the wife to...

    My 4th Brisket on My Old Country Wrangler

    On all the briskets I've ever cooked, I've always used my rub.  However, this time I tried it with just Kosher Salt and Course Ground Black Pepper.  I have to say, this is my favorite brisket yet.  And, for me, it was perfect...even if it was a tad too spicy for the wife. So, I trimmed it, salt...

    BBQ Spareribs On My Old Country Wrangler Smoker

    Thursday, after work, I decided I wanted to smoke some spareribs Friday night, as it was supposed to rain Saturday. However, if I was going to smoke them Friday, I needed to get them ready Thursday night. But, I didn’t have any thawed…and the 2 racks of spareribs I had were too large to fit in...

    Spatchcocked Smoked Turkey on Old Country Wrangler Smoker

    First of all, I’ve never tried smoking a turkey.  I’m mainly a brisket, ribs, and pork butt guy.  And, we are very near Greenberg Smoked Turkey, Inc.   So, I can stop by there anytime and buy a smoked turkey.  Greenberg’s ships all over the country, and their turkeys are always great.  However...

    New Old Country Wrangler Smoker - First Brisket

    Well, I got brave on my 3rd smoke and decided to do a brisket.  First smoke was a sausage roll stuffed with cheese and jalapenos, wrapped in bacon...a tenderloin...and some jalapeno sausages.  Wanted to do something that would smoke fairly quickly, as I had just finished seasoning the Old...

    To Cover or Not to Cover, That is the Question

    I’ve been a member of the forum for a couple of weeks now.  I had a GOSM big block smoker, that finally bit the dust, and I really hated to see it go.  I’ve smoked so many ribs on it that were always good, moist, and tender.  I’ve done a lot of research trying to decide what to replace it with...
