    Lang Smokers vs. other Top of The Line Smokers

    When selecting a smoker its good to take your time because there are a lot of good ones out there.  How you plan to use it will be a huge determining factor in which type is best for you.  I bought an American Barbeque Systems, All Star.  Look at the threads I have started for my comments on...

    American BBQ Systems - All Star Smoker. My first smokes

    James your ribs look great.  Thanks for sharing all you have done to your ABS and how you use it.   Glad to hear your ribs came out good when you rotate the racks every hour. Sounds like we are both really happy with our All Stars.  I will probably try your fix for the thermometer.......all...

    American BBQ Systems - All Star Smoker. My first smokes

    James  nice to have another ABS user on line.   On the thermometer did you just replace the probe that goes inside the smoke box and use the same dial on the outside.  I have found my ABS themometer to be accurate when tested in boiling water....it is just does not accurately record the middle...

    Which is better - Baby Back Ribs or Spare Ribs (cut St. Louis style)?

    You are right one side of the ribs on bbs is thicker.   I usually smoke them in a rib rack with thick side up so they baste during my smoking.  When I rap them in foil ( generally after about 3 to 4 hours of smoking) I  put them meat side down and  lay them flat in my smoker.      Even when I...

    Which is better - Baby Back Ribs or Spare Ribs (cut St. Louis style)?

    I prefer bbb ribs because they are less fatty.  I buy them at Costco in a  nine to ten pound pack of three.  I put a dry rub on them the night before.  I smoke at about 230 degrees  for four hours spraying them with apple juice after the first three hours. After four hours I wrap in foil putting...

    American BBQ Systems - All Star Smoker. My first smokes

    I Have been smoking on this smoker for the last three months and love it.  It hardly uses any lump charcoal to maintain a temp between 220 and 240.  Its easy to control temp with the two vents on each end of the firebox as well as a damper between the firebox and smoker box.  The build is...
