    My 2nd smoke, my first ribs

    I have a larger grate under the fire basket, so it sits higher off the bottom than it used to. The bag of lump charcoal I was using was broken up in to a lot of very small chips too, that may have been a part of the problem. I'm going to try a different brand. When I added new charcoal it would...

    My 2nd smoke, my first ribs

    So today was my second time smoking after a moderate success yesterday. Today I did baby back ribs with a rub and sauce using the 2-2-1 method, lump mesquite coal and apple chunks. I was having a hard time keeping a clean fire burning for the first two hours. Luckily my Maverick 733 came in the...

    Hi everyone

    Thanks for the welcome guys, I should have taken it off sooner. It came out too well done for my taste and also too smokey tasting. It wasn't bitter, just extra smoke flavored. I used lump mesquite coal with chunks of cherry. The roast was medium by the time it was done resting.

    I just took the roast off at an IT of 140F. It's wrapped and resting now.

    Hi everyone

    Hi all,     I've been grilling my entire life and finally decided to step into the world of smoking. I just picked up a nearly new New Braunfels Black Diamond offset smoker and have been doing the normal mods that I've read about.  I'm waiting on my door gaskets and my Maveric thermometer to...
