Who likes to smoke their meat?

Next off the Island.
Blocking the wind is key with the WSM - good point there.

this is a good site - http://virtualweberbullet.com/tipsfaq.html
talks about different charcoal methods (i do minion)
mods and accessories.

you know, i never thought to buy a second one, and stack the center sections.......

at the end of the day, they are still round - and fitting 4 racks on 1 shelf is problematic.
unless ya do crown rack of ribs (which i have.)

Foodie - I love this site. Go there and look up the roadside chicken recipe. It is so good, but it is messy. It's a salty recipe, I cut the salt by 1/4.

Indoor slow cook with a little liquid smoke.
Purchased the rub at the GC. got some heat to it. hickory smoke.

So 7 hours at 215 or so. Meat sat in its own fat rendering. It was tender, but missing the crisp edges, leak of smoke flavor. Maybe use a spray bottle next time???

I consider it a failure, every one else loved it

this was in an oven or electric smoker like a Bradley?

In the oven.
I'm thinking that they should be finished with the liquid smoke, rather than putting it on with the rub.

they also sat in the rendered fat - so maybe throw a cooling rack under them? should get them a bit crisper.

or don't be lazy, and do them on the smoker!

So you broke your valve stem on purpose to get back to this. I understand.

What time will they be out?

the ribs were on auto-pilot - first batch came off around 4:00 - then 6:00 - then just a few minutes ago.
plenty left - you want me to bring some on wednesday?

that's a lot of meat there, do you find it overloaded with that many and does it smoke evenly?
Looking from a large but cheap setup and this may be my eventual route

the ones on the top rack finished first along with the outside of the bottom rack - I spread the bottom ones out a bit, and let them go another two hours.
i still think square (rectangular) is the way to go - could get a bunch on in an angled config. left one rack on a bit longer, cause experimenting. the one centered over the water
seemed a bit steamed, didn't like the color, although it was done.

came out good!
