Hello all,
I recently got a Dyna Glo offset smoker from my girl for Christmas. Ever since then ive been sort of obsessed with the topic. This past weekend I decided to give it a few test runs. On Friday after work I lit her up to burn off any unwanted fumes or chemicals that could potentially come with the unit. After work Saturday I decided I would try something light and quick- chicken wings. They turned out pretty good, but could definitely use work. The smoker was running extremely hot at times so a few just went straight up black. I found a recipe on pinterest for jerk wings, and the flavor was outstanding. The second batch was just a bunch of spices, basically an experimental batch. That still needs some tweaking.
Sunday morning I picked up some pork spare ribs , and cut them in half. I found a recipe for a Memphis dry rub online, and had a rib rub I had picked up a few months back I was also eager to try. Both were tasty! I made the BBQ sauce for it myself as well. I went with the 3-2-1 method on the ribs. They were delicious, but I would say a little to over done. I love fall off the bone style, but these were pulling a little to much for my liking. I noticed they were falling off the bone on hour 5 during my unwrapping stage, but since this was my first smoke I was not about to rework the recipe everyone seems to enjoy. I assume this happened because the smoker was steady at 250, sometimes jumping to 270? I was aiming for 220, but was having a difficult time. Still trying to figure that part out.
Anyways I figured I would come out from the shadows and introduce myself. Happy smoking! View attachment 351128 View attachment 351129 View attachment 351126 View attachment 351126 View attachment 351128 View attachment 351129 View attachment 351126 View attachment 351126
