St. Louis ribz, Propane, Amazn smoke tray

[gnarlykaw]

I’ll start off by saying I apologize for my last two posts, they were quite shotty, very spotty, and just plain grotesquely even read!
OK! Today, since I don’t really have anything planned for a job to do, since were all still sitting around the house, at least us older folks, I decided I would take on three slabs of St. Louis style pork ribs from Costco.
What makes this such a challenge for me, is the fact that I’m using a master built cabinet propane smoker, and the amazing Smoke tray, with competition blend pellets for my smoke.
I was able to pull the membrane off of all three slabs and I applied Oakridge secret weapon to both sides of the ribs and then cut the slabs in half so I could get them in this tiny little cabinet! I am more custom to a stick smoke on my Oklahoma Joe Highland Grill, so this little cabinet is a bit of a challenge for me.

1:45hrs in, smoke just started rollin good about half an hour ago. Fighting the smoke tray. Ended up lighting both ends. Although, one Suffocated out, and the other and started burning well and now I’ve got great smoke. I have found that this propane cabinet is sucking the oxygen out and I have a hell of a time keeping that smoke try to get lit. I typically let it burn on the outside of the cabinet for about 15 minutes to get a good pile of coal on it, then I put it in but for some reason it starts the snuff out. She’s going now though and they look good!
