Well, here is my first cook on the new offset. Beef back ribs.


Seasoned. Salt and pepper.


1 hour in, had to peek and see how much rain was sitting in the bottom of the cooker. Only a little, but it was coming down hard for a bit there. Eeek! A tweak to the intake damper and the offset continued to chug along at 250.


2 hours in. Foil time.


Done!


I cooked them to fall off the bone since that's how everyone likes it. I was having some back problems so I did the 2-4 method I guess. 2 on smoke, 4 in foil @ 250. Very tender, great flavor. I wasn't thinking and sliced them with a bread knife. It was the first knife I grabbed and I went with it so it looks a little torn up, but hey it's tender!

I used a combination of charcoal bricks and ash wood. It was the most wonderful, and relaxing cook I've done so far. If it wasn't for the rain I probably wouldn't of even had to touch anything for 4 hours. Very impressed with the offset, very disappointed in my low back though. *ouch*.

Can't wait to fire it up again!

Thanks for looking!!
 
Thank you very much! I wanted to get them out of the foil for a bit at the end but.. Life happens and that's BBQ! We had a little left over so we slapped it on some sandwiches with horseradish. Yummy.
 
They look great.    Tender and nice smoke ring.

Whats this new smoker?
 
Thanks!!


An offset that my wife and son got for me. It was cheap but I am just tickled to death to have it. Still keeping my UDS but this thing was really fun to use!
 
Thanks again all! It worked out pretty good for sure. I noticed a little bit of cracking in the paint on the top of the firebox already. Oh well, burn it a few more times, sand, paint, repeat until it's junk. Then bolt/weld on a new one (old propane tank or something).

Next up is something I've grilled a lot, but I've never smoked before. Salmon for my wife's birthday. I've peeked around on the forums a little bit, but some more peeking is in order I believe.
