Bone In Pork Country Style Ribs - stalled?
Thanks Michael - I did have the color I wanted, so I foiled them and put them in a 250 degree oven in the house...they came out a wee bit tough, but the meat pulled right off the bone easily and they were pretty darn tasty. I just didn't have a stall the first time I did these, so I was... -
Bone In Pork Country Style Ribs - stalled?
I know...you are so right. I just didn't want to end up with them all dried out. I unplugged my clock on the back porch and pit my watch away....:-) I foiled em and I'll deal with what happens. Thanks for the reply! -
Bone In Pork Country Style Ribs - stalled?
I have some bone in country style pork ribs in the smoker - the temp's been fairly steady at 240 to 260...I've cooked them before and it's taken about 3 hours to reach an internal temp of 180, and I put them in foil at 240 for another hour - came out great. But this time it seems stalled at... -
Smell of Propane.
VERY good point. So far all I did was take apart things that I had previously had to assemble when I got it anyway. I took off the burner and Venturi assembly and blew everything out with compressed air. Hooked everything back up, did a bubble test (no sign of a leak), and lit her up. Except for...- slidedude

Smell of Propane.
I will disassemble things as much as I can and make sure there are no spiders,etc. The smoker was last used lass than a month ago, but maybe something is in there. Not windy, and I was getting ready to get it up to about 250 for a turkey roast, but I never got past about 160-170, since I shut...- slidedude

Smell of Propane.
Hi all - I have a Masterbuilt Propane smoker. When I lit it last weekend the flame lit fine, but as it burned it seems I continued to smell propane, besides the small amount I expected to smell upon first lighting it. Not wanting to die, I shut her down right away. Today I checked connections...- slidedude

St. Louis Ribs - 2nd try
So I'm waiting for the wife to come home, but I HAD to sneak a couple of these puppies - Qview to follow...but man I think I got a lot closer. It was delish! :grilling_smilie: -
St. Louis Ribs - 2nd try
Thanks a ton, guys. I am doing a rack today, and running around 230 degrees. I am using a digital thermometer, an aluminum pan for water with some apple cider in it too, a cast iron skillet for the chips - I will try some chunks next time. I only smoke during the first couple of hours, and... -
St. Louis Ribs - 2nd try
I like the practicing part....:-) I have a rack on now, and I took a picture before I foiled them. I'll take some more after the tent and before I eat 'em! Kept a journal on this one, too. -
St. Louis Ribs - 2nd try
Sorry for the newbie question, but what's Qview? Pix of the process? I will happily oblige for the ones I do today... -
My Best Ribs Thus Far
Saw this after a search....thanks Yotzee - I'll try this on a rack today. -
St. Louis Ribs - 2nd try
OK, thanks....if 220 was a little low, a higher temp would have solved the issue with them being slightly underdone. I'll look around for other temp suggestions. My intent was to use the 321 guideline as sort of a baseline, then adapt as needed for the right results. So do you guys smoke for... -
St. Louis Ribs - 2nd try
These ribs were my best so far. Very tender, but maybe a tad underdone. I did 3 hours in the smoker, 2 hours in foil with a 1/4 cup of water mixed with dark beer back in the smoker , then out of the foil and back in for about an hour. Like I said, I would have led them to be just a little bit... -
St. Louis Ribs - 2nd try
I'm a new guy with a Masterbuilt propane smoker. First time I tried St. Louis ribs they came out kinda dry and tough. I had big temp fluctuations, so I think I just overdid them at too high a heat. This time I'm trying the 321 method. Seems I've got a better grip on the tempurature - I've been... -
New Guy Question - managing temp on a Masterbuilt GS40
Rude?? No way man - VERY helpful! I am using the Maverick thermometer. I was concerned about creosote buildup - thanks for that. I'm interested in a mod I keep hearing about (needle valve?) that may allow me to regulate the temp better. I'm also going to get a gasket to help seal the door a...- slidedude

New Guy Question - managing temp on a Masterbuilt GS40
Thanks Kevin! Yeah, even with the temp fluctuations, it never got above 240 - mostly high 230's. This is when I was doing a brisket, and it came out dry and tough....but it was small 6 lb. piece that had been all trimmed down by Safeway. I'm reading that smaller briskets will end up tougher and...- slidedude

New Guy Question - managing temp on a Masterbuilt GS40
Hi all, I have a propane Masterbuilt GS40...had some failures this weekend, and I think they were mainly due to bad temp control. I can't seem to get this puppy to live in the sweet zone of 220-225. If I set it low, it seems to idle at 210-212. If I barely turn it up, it seems to shoot up to...- slidedude

New guy saying Hi!
Thanks! Had a few failures so far....but I'm reading up on what I think the causes were, and when I get a little more up-to-speed I'll ask a few questions if I don't find the answers first. Marke
