Darksmoke arriving

[darksmoke]

Hello all, - new to this forum with but one smoking event behind me. I purchased a smoker back on June 23rd (a simple Masterbuilt 30 electric). I don't have many tips to offer, but hope to add to the conversation. I learn quickly, and my first attempt (a 5 lb Boston butt) was considered by those who shared it, a huge success. I ordered a cold smoke generator to compliment the 30" and it arrives tomorrow. For my next attempt on the 4th of July - baby back ribs. If one of you cares to pass along some advice, I'd welcome the read. Tips on seasoning the generator would be welcomed as well.. -Darksmoke

Thanks Submariner! It just so happens we also have Submarines in common... I qualled on the Batfish back in 83.. And I am a Plankowner on the Providence and the Boise, retired in 95. Thank you for your service... Just finished prepping some baby back ribs to marinate through the day for smoking tomorrow. A concoction of sweet baby Ray's BBQ sauce mixed with Tony Chachere's Creole spices and a bit of apple butter stirred in for what should make some rib that are both tangy and sweet. Smoke on!

The smoke generator arrived and is well seasoned for today's smoke event. The Masterbuilt smoke generator does just that - generates smoke like a house afire! Happy with the purchase and looking forward to some baby back ribs later today.

For Submariner: I was at work yesterday and I guy came in wearing a Batfish hat. When I told him my initial sub quals were on the Batfish back in 83 - a look of wonder crossed his face. I tossed a couple names out who were on board when I arrived - (as he had just transferred off) you could see the recognition at their mention. It truely is a small world.
