First smoke with my NEW MES30 (w/Qview)

[padronman]

Here is the the rubbed up prok cushion.  Ready for the smoker. :o)

Here are some Spare Ribs that are going to join in the party!!!!

I am trying out a new rub of my own design.  Tasted great on a stand alone basis with just the right balance of sweet/salty/heat.  Smoking with Hickory chunks and the smell on the back patio is AMAZING!

Now before you go posting Popcorn Smiley's and Snoring smiley's I will post the fisnished products as soon as they are done LOL  Just wanted to get the thread started!!  As an aside when I opened the smoker to put in the ribs the Pork Cushions had an AWESOME bark forming and a great color. 

Thanks for tuning in.....

 Here is the pork all pulled and waiting for consumption. Sorry for the multiple replies to myself but I couldn't get them all into one reply. Was having issues

Ribs waiting to be cut.  All in all this was a damn fine meal. Served Sweet Baby Ray's on the side.  Ribs were fall off the bone tender. Pork cushions were soft and moist.  LOVED my rub.

Nice job! Everything looks delicious!

Looks good. I have an MES30 as well and I was wondering how long did the three cushions take and what temp did you take them to?

I smoked them for 6 hours to an internal temp of 195F.  Let it rest and pulled it at 204F  Came out moist and tender.

Great looking grub, I smoked some ribs on Fathers day, but they were still just a bit tough when we ate them, I just used a store bought seasoning salt called Johnnys, and also some Granulated Garlic.

Hope I'm not being to forward here, but is there any chance you would share your rub recipe. I'm fairly new here and new at smoking, and would love to gather rubs etc for my recipe list.

Thanks Rich-

Great looking food. 

One tip I got from this site when I first got my MES30 was to cover the water pan with foil.  Helps a bunch on clean up!!

Done and did.....I also foiled the drip pan and the bottom of the smoker.  Thanks for the compliments too.....much appreciated.
