Well, I love this site guys.. I've been reading and reading all the cool things to do with the smokers. So much info here, I actually smoked a fatty and it was sooooo good!!
I'm totally new to the smokers. I just bought a little cheepy H2O smoker, and I have been having fun smoking up some tri tips ... they taste so much better then on the gas grill.
Ok, first things first. I tried to smoke some Pork ribs [baby backs] the other day, I had a hard time getting the temp up to 225 I barely had it at 210. Any tips on keeping the heat up? this is a charcol smoker.
Well I had the ribs on for about 2.5 hrs, I took them in and cut through them and they were still pink. Then threw back on for about another hour. Still was pink. It was kinda dissapointing. I had my brisket on for about 3 hours and it was perfect so I figured that would be good enough for the ribs.
So I'm going to take another stab at them this weekend, any tips on how long and how to prep them and of course I getting the heat up to cooking temps???
Please any help would be awesome! thanks - Jason
