Testing out my new smoker

[chinanick]

So today is a cloudy 65 degree day and no rain so I am going to fire up my new landmann offset. I have 3 racks of ribs with the rub on already sitting in the fridge.

Looks good, can you shut down your air intake any more to drop your temp.

Also, how are you getting your cooking chamber temp?  If you are relying on the one provided with the Smoker, there is a good chance it is not accurate.  I know the one that came on mine reads about 10 degrees below actual at 225 (reads between 210 & 215) I would check it with something more accurate.  I use a Maverick 732.

Smoke ON!

My air intake is almost closed and the exhaust is wide open like always stated.
Sadly I am using the stock gauge and I know it's not true grate temp but it was at 350 first and the I got it down by closing the exhaust half way.
I need to get a reliable gauge and I need to order the plates for it since I just checked on them and the ones closest to the fire box are getting too much heat.

As you can see that one part was to close to the firebox. This was taken after I moved them

I would move your meat to the end away from the firebox.  What temp is the meat at?

Tuning plates will help, along with sealing up the firebox.

That is the fun of a stick burner, you get to tune it up!

I moved them all to the other side
They are at 142-145 after a hr and half
I'm am going to do 3-2-1 or 3-2-grill them
What temp should I foul then?

Thank you all in advance and ya this is my second offset and I love the challenge

 

[millerbuilds]

What type of ribs?

If they are at 145 I would foil them now.

I've had the same issue. I think it's the phone. When I power it down and then up again it seems to work fine.

Looking good
Took out of the foil at 190 to finish them to 195. But they dropped to 150
Guess it's from the moisture releasing from them cooling them down.
