    Baby Back Ribs - Hard Bark

    I think my first mistake was treating these ribs like spares. I think I just overcooked 'em. I had all kinds of trouble with the temps fluctuating from 225 - 275, due to wind. I think that: "This "bark" that you describe may have been more of a jerky effect on the loin meat portion of the rib."...

    Baby Back Ribs - Hard Bark

    Question folks...I dont usually cook baby back ribs, but caught some on sale the other day. I was prepared to use the 2-2-1 method with Jeff's rub at 225-250. When I went to prepare my spritz of 50% apple juice 50% spiced rum, I found I was minus the apple juice. Too busy preparing other foods...

    Up early to tackle this big butt.

    I usually use a apple juice/captain morgan mix. But, plain 'ol apple is fine as well. What type of rub did you use?

    Heya folks. Been away for awhile and I was storing all of Jeffs emails on my desktop HD before it died. Is there a place where I can go to see old emails from Jeff?

    Newbie with GOSM question

    Like richoso1 said, get the GOSM Big Block. The model number that I got was the 3605 and it's dimensions are: 36"H x 24"W x 16"D Plenty big for anything. You can fit 4 whole spares or 4-5 10#+ butts. By the way, got mine at Bass Pro.

    Got my GOSM - time to smoke!

    Well, I have to say that I have never seen a 4# butt...kind of smallish. I always do at least a 7-9 lb butt because you will see only about 60% of the original weight in cooked product. I just freeze the remaining portion. For a rub, you cannot beat Jeff's Naked rub. If youy are not ready for...

    bear claws (not the sweet things)

    I am definitely going to try them. I have always used either two forks or my hands. But, after shredding 16#'s of Pig yesterday by hand, I will try anything.

    GOSM users

    I am going to tag on to this thread about the smoke as i have experienced the same thing. Does everyone that uses the GOSM use the stock Cast iron smoke tray? Seems a little small to me. Also, do you leave the wood in the box until it turns to ash when replenishing with fresh wood or dump it out...

    taco fatty w/qview, more mini's

    Great Job erain! I have tried several kinds, but never a Taco fatty. That will probably be my next one to try. Repped for the great idea!

    I got 3 big 'ol butts oh Yeah...w/Qview.

    Final Pics! Each of the 3 9# butts turned out an average of 5# each. Damn, hand shredding 15#'s of butt is a chore. Next time I will have to get me some of those bear claws that everyone was talking about.

    I got 3 big 'ol butts oh Yeah...w/Qview.

    Amazing! I did exactly that, the pans that I had catching the drippings in the smoker also served as the drip pans in the oven.

    I got 3 big 'ol butts oh Yeah...w/Qview.

    11 hours in and at 192...foiled. At this point, my dog either loves me or hates me because of the smell. Can't really tell which.

    I got 3 big 'ol butts oh Yeah...w/Qview.

    After 10 hours, the butts are at 180 and have been foiled and shoved into the oven at 225. They darn near fell apart in my hands as I foiled them!
