Lots of folks here with recent success with just S&P. I started my day with one rack of St. Louis ribs and a chuckie. Salt and pepper only on both smoking for 4 hrs so far at 240. The probe is in the chuckie and reading 158 at the present time. I'm taking the ribs off at 5 hrs, and letting the chuckie go to 195 IT. In the mean time, I did some chicken on the kettle with the Vortex! I put 2 breasts and 5 thighs on and checked them after 30 minutes. The thighs were already at 170+ and I yanked them off! Will post pics later, having computer issues.
