Well I have one cook under my belt on my new 22.5" WSM with BBQ Guru, Digi Q. After watching several Youtube videos and talking with people around the forums, I ordered my WSM and Guru. It was tough waiting for both to arrive and even more tough to have to wait out mother nature in Minnesota to cooperate to use it. I fired up the smoker about 9am yesterday with some beef back ribs (first slab of those) and an 8lb boston butt. Needless to say, with the Guru it was almost as simple as set it and forget it and come back later only to foil the ribs and eventually wrap the "butt" in foil. The boston butt took almost 12 hours, the WSM cooked a little hotter than I normally would but I guess that's because it's brand new and has not been seasoned yet. The taste....out of this world with one of the rubs from Jeff's book, Big Bald BBQ rub. I injected with apple juice and included some of the dry rum in the apple juice, kept meat very moist. Not much of a smoke ring on the meat but I think that will come in time and the more I use it. I just ordered Jeff's Rib Rub and Sauce Recipe after much debate and hearing so much hype about it, I figured I better try it. I am cooking for a couple different grad parties coming up and also a buddy's 40th birthday party so I figured I better get some "practice" in before them to see which rub I like the most. Has anyone else used the Big Bald Rub from Jeff's Book and then tried Jeff's Naked Rib Rub? Wanted to hear your experience or suggestions. Thanks and smoke on
