New guy from IL.....Lovin the smoker!

[vtecgsr95]

Hey everyone....

Names Frank.  From Central Illinois.  Just picked up a Masterbuilt smoker.....30" with the window and temp probe.  Its a beginner setup yes, but I am a total newb when it comes to smoking, but I am learning fast!

So far, I have smoked a pork loin roast, bone-in chicken breasts, and most recently, some ribs.

I must say.....the ribs were by far the best I have had!  Per my brother's reccomendations, I peeled the membrane off (tyson ribs from wal-mart...wife bought em'), rubbed them with veg oil and then some McCormicks Memphis Pit rub and wrapped with saran wrap overnight.  Next day, set smoker to 225* and did the 3-2-1 routine.  Man.....I was so impressed with how well everything turned out!

I am looking forward to smoking some boneless chicken breasts.....so if anyone has suggestions on a brine solution and procedure on smoking I am ready to give it a try!
