Did this the weekend before Memorial day . Had a small hunk of a pork butt I saved from making sausage . I saved it to make a ham , but decided to smoke this one . About 3 lbs , no fat cap .
Had a 3 pack of full spares from GFS . The pack date on the ribs was 2 days before I bought them , so I trimmed two racks and smoked them the following day . These things were nice . Best I've bought from them .

Did the butt section in the MES 30 . Apple wood chunks in the chip tray . Perfect smoke . Came out really good , and I'm liking the leaner cook on these , fat cap went to sausage . Only got a couple pics , and just salt and pepper .
I didn't wrap , ( never do ) just had a piece of foil on the tray for clean up .

Got the 26 uncovered and it started to rain . No biggie . I just rolled it to the covered part of the patio .

Set up the snake , Burned 8 hours at 260
and still had a foot left when I took the ribs off .

Did 2 racks , the one had a real thin side to it , so took all that off and vac'd it .
The other was meaty just a slight trim .
No wrap on these either .

Sliced up ,

Had dough in the fridge outside , so I grabbed enough to make a
loaf in the 360 . That thing does great on bread too .

By this time I'm starving . Piled it all on a plate and had at it .
Son made a awesome pasta salad . Daughter did the corn .

Only thing missing was slaw for the pork , but it was really good .
I have to say , and have said it before . I can murder a rack of ribs .
These were fantastic . I think 2 things helped me this time . The fresh ribs , and a comment noboundaries noboundaries made about probing ribs .
Went with the probe , and they were awesome . Big rack probed tender before the small one . Took it off left the other one til tender .
Worked great .

Oh , here's a couple gadgets I made to help keep my temp probes out of the way .
This one goes on the side ,

Wrap the leads around , take up the slack .
Then up to this one that holds things up top , and in thru the door .
Tired of probes hung in the door latch .

Works good . Cut a slot and glued some magnets underneath
to hold them in place .

Thanks for lookin
 
that's a good looking meal ya had there, like the gadgets may have to do something like that it gets old having wires in the way

Thanks Ray . Try a loaf in the 360 . Comes out good .
Man, oh man. What a plate of deliciousness! Great job.
Thanks for the comment , and the help with the ribs . I saw your comment in another thread .
My ribs were always hit or miss . I think the probe to tender is the ticket .
 
Fantastic looking meal! Man, with the aroma of the smokers and smell of fresh baked bread, no wonder you were starving. Love those ideas for wires...always in the way of the latch.

Yeah , had apple chunks in the Weber and the 30 , bread in the oven ,,,
You can buy the magnets at Lowes . I have some round , some square . Get the round and use a paddle bit to drill a hole . Works great .
