My Char Grill Pro showed (pics)

On Thursday my new smoker showed up and I put it together along with all of the mods. On Friday I fired it up just to season it, I hadn't planned on smoking anything until next week....but I couldn't stand it, after burning a bag of charcoal up to get'r seasoned I had to give the 3-2-1 ribs a shot. The wife went to the store and picked up a couple of racks of spare ribs and I had them on at 4:00 yesterday afternoon and took them off at 10:00. I will be having them for dinner tonight.

Now "BeerDawg" we have to talk, I have to wonder if you really did that smoke, it looks great but there's no "BEER" in the pics

I remember when my chargriller was that ugly ------- uhh, I mean clean

Looks great .................

Seems like evryone is running that dryer vent down to the grate, I left mine up about 3 or 4 inches off the grate so i could fit 5 or 6 racks of ribs straight across the entire cook area ...... just a thought for you guys, if you ever did more than a couple racks at a time.


Enjoy 'em

Thanks for the comments. Had the ribs for dinner tonight and we really enjoyed them......the 3-2-1 will be the standard procedure at this house. Oh yea, from now on there will be a beer in all of my pictures.

Nice lookin' Ribs. Enjoy the new smoker BeerDawg!

 

[wht93gted]

it looks like you flipped the "stock" charcoal grate over inside the main body...was that to act as a baffle for the firebox?

if so, how'd it work? Is anyone else is here doing the same thing? Did you need to drill any holes in it?

Beaut of a smoke! Making me hungry!

 

[jts70]

Nice job! Great looking ribs!

 

[beerdawg]

Yea, that's exactly what I did and used a brick to support it at the smoke stack end.. I haven't drilled any holes in it yet but I think I will before the next smoke this weekend. The temperature was actually hotter on the smoke stack end than it was on the firebox end. I already have a grill so I won't be grilling on the smoker. I'll probably start with just a few holes at time to see how it works out. I also used the firebox cooking grates to set the charcoal on so I can remove the ash tray without messing with the coals.

 

[gypsyseagod]

drop the stack end of the coal tray & place a 3-4" flat wrap of foil @ the end of the top grate for better (lower-mine reads 220)temp control. on unit 2 i also triple wrapped the tray in heavy foil.the tray goes from highest to lowest from firebox
to stack end.

 

[beerdawg]

Thanks for the suggestion, that would work better than drilling holes. I will probably get some thinner steel to do this with, the grate that came with the smoker is pretty thick stuff.
