big super bowl sunday smoke (relatively speaking)

[bizzymedic10]

so....

very new to this as this will be my first real smoke with this smoker and in general. i have a 6.5 lbs boston butt, a rack of baby back ribs, a whole chicken and a couple dozen wings.

i brinded the butt over night in a salt and sugar mix, dried this morning and rubbed with i hate to say a commercial rub, just want this to turn out well and was a little sleepy eyed this morning. i also did rub the butt down with mustard prior to rubbing with the dry rub.

here is where im at....5 hours in at around 225, a little difficult to maintain temp, getting use to this smoker. instant read thermometer just read 137, ive bumped the temp to 250-275. i did have a continuous thermometer but i think its messed up because it keeps reading HI. its a crappy master forge i bought from lowes. any recommendations for a thermometer.

planning on putting the ribs on in another couple hours along with the whole chicken, plan on cooking those at the above temp for 1.5-2 hours. wings will go on last for maybe 45 min to an hour. do these times seem about right.

Thanks

It looks good so far. For racks of ribs you need 3-2-1 or 2-2-1 for BB. You need to smoke the chicken to 165° in the breast.

Happy smoken.
