My first cook is underway though a couple of hours late... Last night for my burn-in I used some old lump charcoal that I had left over from who knows when - ugh, what a mess as it left a ton of ash that I had to clean out today before I could light a new fire for my first cook. While I was cleaning out the ash I received some Fogo charcoal I had ordered so I used some of that as starter for Coco-char that I'm using as the main fuel for my cook. As promised by others it took a while for the Coco-char to catch and burn, but now I am approaching my desired cook temperature. I'm hoping that my decision to forgo the preferred hour-long heat soak does not hurt me since I decided to add my ribs now, with a couple of chunks of cherry wood for my flavoring agent. I am very closely watching the temperature to make sure it stabilizes and holds at 250° for what I expect to be a 5-6 hour cook. I might expect a little bit of a shorter cook if I had allowed the normal heat soak to occur before putting on the ribs – we shall see!
