My first rack of BB's ever smoked

[leorousseau]

Does this look ok? This is about 1hr in, cover was open to spray w/apple juice so I figured I'd take a shot.

Those are looking good. Seem to be enjoying basking in the heat of your smoker. Keep us posted on their progress.

Yeah those look reall legit. What kind of wood you got on em?

 

[leorousseau]

I have them w/hickory. 1 chunk for about 3 hrs. Went from thin blue smoke to no smoke but I can still smell the hickory burning so I think I'm still good.

 

[cheech]

Those look great keep it up

 

[low&slow]

They look good enough to eat.

 

[linescum]

they look tempting from here. wish i'd have made a rack myself today

 

[watery eyes]

Looks real good.....

No problem from what I can see.

 

[leorousseau]

This is the finished product. Whatchyall think? Any good? I need opinions.

 

[squeezy]

I'll just bet they taste even better than they look .... am I right?

 

[lee forst]

If they taste as fine as they look, then you did a job well done!

 

[deejaydebi]

Yes that looks great leorousseau ! Good job!

 

[skeeter]

They look fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep it up

 

[bbq bubba]

Job well done Leo

 

[hawgheaven]

They look mighty good from here, how did they taste?

 

[leorousseau]

They tasted pretty good, but, the next time I smoke I will not put another chunk on once the first one smolders away. I think It might have a layer of creosote or something on the ribs. Is this possible if smoked throughout the whole 5 hrs? very light to almost no smoke though. Thin blue, baby!

 

[leorousseau]

Is penetration of the pink all the way through to the bone a good thing?

 

[squeezy]

If they tasted pretty good, then you didn't have a creosote problem.
What wood did you use?
Perhaps a little more wood may have helped.
If you had pink all the way to the bone ... you had a very good smoke ring.
Congrats!

i hate to tell you this but if those were your first ribs..... then you are a natural! only draw back of gaining that title is now you have to cook for all of us! great job on those ribs, they have me on my way to the store right now

 

[leorousseau]

Thanks everyone! I guess I won't change a thing then, except get a Weber rib rack so I can fit more in the kettle. I'm going camping this upcoming weekend and I'm gonna do some more ribs and also some ABT's for the first time and maybe a Fatty. Next summer I'll be buying a smoker.
