Hi, I'm a new member.
My first try smoking with a new Masterbuilt electric wasn't exactly a success. The new smoker was seasoned with vegtable oil for four horus at 225. Doing some ribs I used a modified store bought rub, removed the membrane and proceeded to use the 3-2-1 and 200 degrees. After the second hour they looked fine with a redish brown color. Somewhere in the third hour the redish brown turned more black. I think this is where we got into trouble and that maybe this was creosote.
In the end,the meat was nice and tender. It didn't fall off the bone but was cut off easily leaving a clean bone. There was allot of black though. I used hickory that was not soaked - just dry. Maybe it was catching on fire in the box?
Well, I guess Rome wasn't built in a day. Any ideas on where it went wrong are apreciated Thanks in advance, I'm glad to be a new member here.
