My First Ribs

[mikesr]

I went to CostCo and bought a double-slab package of ribs for my first pork smoke in my new Smoke Hollow. I still can't get the heat down below 275* so the 3-2-1 method got shortened but they still came out pretty good. I need to get one of those needle valves that reduce the propane flow. My wife is the model holding the finished product. She loved them so I guess I did good.

MikeSr,
I'm not familiar with your smoker, but by looking at those ribs - you did a fine job! Keep messing with it, you'll figure it out. I just spent two hours messing with one of my smokers that I "tuned up"... maybe.. ;o)

It's all good when you're Q'en.

I bought this smoker from Gander Mountain. It was regularly $200 but they had a 20% off sale and I couldn't resist. Eventually I'll have to make some modifications to it. It only has one vent in the back, none on the sides or top. Looks like a hole saw is in my future. Also need a valve in the gas line to reduce the flow.

Looks to me like they came out pretty good as well.

Those ribs look great for your

first time and it looks like the wife likes them too. That a good smoker I have the Gosm that is very simalar and one thing is don't rely on the thermo meter on the door mine is about 30* low and that made for alot of dried out food.

 

[mikesr]

The thermometer in the door is pretty close to a grill thermometer that I have laying on the second rack. We'll see how consistant they both stay.
