Trying Several things NEW...

[eaglewing]

As promised I am documenting my BB smoke today using my NEW Powdered Turbinado Sugar instead of 'Brown'...

(see thread http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ad.php?t=85392 )

Also using Rib Racks and 2 water pans over my tuning plates to help with too much direct heat burning my last batch of ribs...

(see thread http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ad.php?t=85209 )

First I run HOT water over the membrane for about 10 sec which really helps in removing it...










Then I sprinkle with the NEW rub and wrap each one in Butcher paper to head to the smoker...










Here are the changes I made to the smoker to see if I can get a good batch of BB's today... Rib rack over 2 water pans...


and using my Charcoal Basket for only the second time...



MORE TO COME, wish me luck, cuz I'M HUNGRY ALREADY!!!!

Today was a BIG SUCCESS!!!

The ribs turned out exactly the way I wanted them to.

The smoker held a good steady temp, no burn marks or uneven temp bleed-threw.

The RIB RACK worked perfect!!! For Baby backs only tho...
No way I can fit FULL Spares in there that way. That don't matter. I'll save them for my bigger smokers.

The FLAVOR was AWESOME. I will have no problem substituting Turbinado for 'brown'. Wife says it was a noticeable diff that she liked.

Sorry, final Qview and it's out of focus...oh well. At least I got all the Dog meds in the background...LOL (we rescue and care for a lot of dogs)

Those ribs looked like they turned out really well!!

How did the chicken turn out? I noticed it was smoked in the pan and was wondering if the smoke flavor was still there?

Glad it turned out well for you. I use turbinado in my rub, use dark brown as well and run it all through a dedicated coffee grinder. I really recommend the dedicated grinder...don't want cayenne in the MRS. morning coffee

 

[eaglewing]

OH YES, the chicken does GREAT that way... still a good smoke flavor, the wife loves to eat off them during the week. They get done fast so there is not a real 'ring' in the meat but the smoke flavor is there.
