Plan for 1st Rec Tec smoke

[BrianGSDTexoma]

I had some cheap rib sections that I just put in brine. Going to try smoke those without wrapping. Have regular back ribs going to do the 3-2-?. I perfer St Louis but that all they had and 3 pieces of beef short ribs. Probably throw some stuffed jalapeno's in there. I thinking of running 225. I learned with my MES with pellets slower gives better smoke. My buddy with Camp Chef says he goes with low smoke setting for few hours which is like 160 degrees. I don't think really need to do that. Any tips? I know over all the years I been doing this every new grill, smoker has a learning curve. Been doing this for 30 years and still feel like a rookie.

Run it at 225. You'll get plenty of smoke

I'm with your buddy but everybody likes a different amount of smoke, never had any bad food off mine yet, may happen may not lol , smoke shouldn't be the main flavor of the food imo just like spices, the meat needs to speak of its quality . Good luck and I bet they turn out great

Got ribs seasoned up. Also smoking bacon in the MES. Using Lumberjack Competition on both.

It smoking real good. It is running 20 degrees off. Have a couple probes inside. Have it set at 205 to get 225.

Smoking some stuffed jalapeno. Now that I have drip pan in right everything running like it should!
