Spring is finally here!

[cowboyj103]

So we had a record breaking winter here in alaska, 170 plus inches of snow. My smoker is finally accessible again as we had a solid six feet of snow out back that I couldn’t keep up with. Just threw on a rack of ribs to get back in the groove of it, I don’t think I’ve gone this long without firing it up in my life. Hope you guys have all been doing well!

Looks good. I lived in Fairbanks for 6 years. Me and the wife visit Alaska every couple of years. Been spring down here in Tennessee since February lol

Warmest winter we’ve had since I can remember. We did have a 10inch snow in January but then it was spring lol

Fairbanks is way colder than here in anchorage. I lived up there for a while too but moved down here because there’s a bigger market for my business. If you’re up this way send me a message sometime, you guys are welcome to come by for dinner!

I don't remember the last time we had any measurable amount of snow, much less 10 inches...

This was our first dump of the winter, back in October. UPS truck was stuck in front of my drive for three days, had to chain my tires to get around it and down to work.

We got 38 inches in either 2010 or 2012 can’t remember. Where we are in Tennessee probably gets the highest snow totals.

Two and a half hours in… I have a smoke question. My fire is burning too clean apparently, I can’t get any smoke out of this thing! Using post oak splits with a little hickory, the cook is going well but I would like to see at least a little smoke out of my stack. It’s probably not a big deal, just wondering if you guys have encountered this.

Not seeing smoke is actually ideal. You have a good clean burning fire

Thanks for the reassurance. My gut just felt like it was too clean, the cook is going amazing and the meat is looking awesome. Probably going to wrap here in the next hour.

What type of grill/smoker are you using?
You could also add a smoke tube in there.

Looking good to me! I always shoot for a clean burning fire! Doesn't always happen but that is the goal.
