I love smoking meats been doing it about 15yrs now. Started out with a cheap electric smoke similar to yours. It crapped out after about 2-3yrs and got a old country BBQ pit from academy. The simplicity of a bbq pit is awesome and the flavor is better. No electronics to go out. But it does require a lot more attention. From my experience the 3-2-1 is good for St Louis style ribs, if you're smoking babyback ribs 3hrs is usually all that's needed. Something else easy and delicious you should try is pork belly burnt ends. If any of y'all smoke brisket check out mad scientist bbq on YouTube. I learned about using wagyu tallow and OMG it will step up your brisket to the next level.
Round 2 should hopefully be done soon. This time it's baby back ribs. They're at about 175 but have been on for like 8 hours. Been spritzing every 45 minutes or so for the last 3 hours while I check temp. Bumped the temp from 225 to 245 to hopefully get these done before the 10hr mark.
You guys are killin me with all these electric contraptions. I'm an old stick burner from way way back. Looks good though.
Waaaaay better. Tried a seasoning my buddy suggested...not for me but the cooking is way better. I did one rack with his seasoning and one with mine so the other rack should be awesome. I sauced too early too, not BAD but could be better. Progress, tons of progress!
The seasoning I tried has too much black pepper for ribs for me. They're good, just not what I'm going for.
If you are going to glaze, you really dont do that until the cook is done. Throw em back on after unwrapping and let the glaze get sticky.
That's why I said too early. I'm learning LOL!
Glad the ribs turned out good! I’m new to ribs myself, but 10 hours sounds like a long time to smoke them.
