    Hello from a Char-Griller Pro newbie

    I added some tuning plates to this before Saturday's smoke, and it did make a big difference.  The temp difference between the center and the edges averaged about 35-40 degrees.  The end nearest the SFB was typically running about 50 degrees higher than the far end, but I had some really big...

    Recommendations for beef ribs (back and short)

    Well, I did these ribs Saturday.  The back ribs, being much thinner weren't going to take as long, so I put them on 1 hour after the short ribs were on.  The back ribs I foiled after 1.5 hours (Internal Temp was 150).  The short ribs I foiled at 2.5 hours (IT 145)  Both sets cooked for another...

    Recommendations for beef ribs (back and short)

    I've only been smoking for about 3 months.  (I tease the kids that although I quite smoking two years ago, I've started again, but this time it's much more tasty.) I picked up a slab of beef back ribs and a slab (5 bone) of beef short ribs from the butcher this morning.  I'm planning to smoke...

    Hello from a Char-Griller Pro newbie

    Thanks for the help.  I'll try to get some baffles built for this in the next couple of days. It amazes me that I can have temp variances like this.  It would also amaze me if all three hardware thermometers went bad at once.  I've only had the smoker since June, so they aren't very old.  The...

    Hello from a Char-Griller Pro newbie

    Hello, First of all, let me say thank you for this site.  I've been lurking here for a little while and have learned a lot by reading various threads. I got my first smoker this spring, and have been having a blast.  It's a Char-Griller Pro w/ SFB, and I've done about seven smokes in it, and...
