So I did a first run with the new smoker (new to me) used charcoal which is new to me as well for this unit


Did a few beef back ribs.


S&P only and wrapped overnight (First mistake) ribs were to salty.

In the smoker at 2pm.


5 hours in IT 160

400


On to the gasser to carmelize


The results


Plated


Overall the ribs came out moist and tasty.
A little to salty for Mrs. r2 but fine with me.

So here's a few questions.

How much charcoal is used?
Do you continue to add new coals periodically to keep the heat up?
Had a hard time keeping the temps stable.
I'm sure there were other issues I had.

So any feedback would be appreciated.
