Hey everyone, finally decided to stop lurking and join in! My awesome wife got me my new dynaglo offset for an early x-mas gift so I can break it in for x-mas dinner. After spending some time playing with it during seasoning and finding out how the cooking box balances out, especially since I’m doing the extra Self punishment of just using strictly wood during Chicago winters, I decided to break it in with some back ribs. They came out incredible!! I put in some firebrick in the top and just above firebox to use as a tuner and insulator and didn’t really follow any timeline, just went with internal temp and appearance. We like our ribs a little tender, so I wrapped them at about 195 and let them go for about another hour so they ended up at 210 and they were beyond amazing!! Used cherry only since I’m learning flavors and don’t want to start mixing too soon, and had a question about mixing sticks. Because of thin metal and outside temp controlling firebox was a challenge, but one that I thoroughly enjoyed, was thinking of tossing on a piece of birch every now and then since I have access to plenty of it and I heard it runs hot, and using only minimal sticks hoping it doesn’t affect flavor too much. May try that next month since I’m going to start playing with hickory next. Thanks for having me and am looking forward to chatting more!!
