Finally got the Lang dialed in. Here's some baby backs.

[worm304]

3 pack of costco baby backs from this past weekend. Seasoned up with a combo of jeff's and squeal like a pig rubs.

Fired up the lang around 11 am.

About 3 hours in. Held between 250-275 on the dial. I have a little more tinkering to do but for the most part it was a split every 45 or so and some moving coals around. Spritz with half apple juice and water.

Next time I do need to rotate the racks of ribs as the one closest to the FB had a little more char on them than I would have liked. I didn't wrap until they were completely done. Foiled them and just held in the oven at 165 for about an hour until we were ready to eat.

Money shot.

They didn't have as much smoke flavor as I would have liked. The fire ran really clean and only saw a little white smoke in the few minutes after adding a new split. Any suggestions on getting a little more smoke on them? I am sure others not tending a smoker were able to taste more of the smoke flavor. Thanks for looking!

[flatbroke]

as far as the smoke flavor, what type wood were you using?

That's a great question. Right now I am trying to dial it in using just the temp gauge and get my fire management on point. With those 2 things I was successful. I plan to use a mud pan full of water near the fire box to even out grate temps. I was planning to do that with this cook but i filled up the pan and it wasn't water tight. I am going to get some high temp sealant for that issue. I am sure there is plenty of variation but I'm taking it one step at a time and will focus on grate temps next cook.

I get a mild smoke profile with oak.

Nice looking ribs. I'm glad it's starting to come together. How long did you cook them overall?
