And here it is loaded up. 2 St Louis racks, 2 larger "spare rib" racks and a 5 lb shoulder butt roast So far it's been going 3 hours ...... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4
Paul Posted August 26, 2017 Report Posted August 26, 2017 Looking good! Looks funny to see the white interior...I have forgotten they come that way. 1
JDBBQ Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Posted August 26, 2017 You mean they don't stay that way I rubbed two of the racks, a little garlic salt and pepper on the other two and the butt (the way my dad used to do it, to be paired with Open Pit back in the day). (I found some Open Pit at Kmart today on a random trip there - only $0.88 per bottle - had to buy a few as its tough to find).
ZooBeeQ Posted August 26, 2017 Report Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) LOL , Paul, thats exactly what I thought ! Take care with the ribs tho, you can dry them out easy. Zo0 And no, if you using it right It dont stay white Edited August 26, 2017 by ZooBeeQ
JDBBQ Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Posted August 26, 2017 One question (of many to come) - is it normal to get some condensation around the top and also under the grill (underside a little damp)?
Pequod Posted August 26, 2017 Report Posted August 26, 2017 I think I see why your Smoke grate temp is higher than the dome in that last pic. Your grate probe is pointed toward the edge, likely in a hot spot outside the deflector (or foil or whatever you're using). 1
JDBBQ Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Posted August 26, 2017 Ok that makes sense. Butt may be dinner tomorrow but I will check ribs in a while. Been 4 hoursSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JDBBQ Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Posted August 26, 2017 This is at 4.5 hours. Will go another 30 to 60 minSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
MacKenzie Posted August 26, 2017 Report Posted August 26, 2017 It looks beautiful but it won't stay white for long, at least it shouldn't, if you are using it.
MacKenzie Posted August 26, 2017 Report Posted August 26, 2017 I see some shrinkage along the bones, that is good.
ZooBeeQ Posted August 27, 2017 Report Posted August 27, 2017 Yep Mackenzie , they lookin sweet ! Sauce or no sauce?
JDBBQ Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Posted August 27, 2017 No sauce yet. Good question. Will ask kids and wife. They all think I am crazySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JDBBQ Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Posted August 27, 2017 Sauce on 1/3 of em ....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Flht01 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Looking at the picture makes it look like the probe is actually touching the grate. That might be something to look at with regards to the dome and probe temps being different. I just finished taking a pair of needle nose pliers to my probe holder so it would fit the grates and still hold the probe tight enough to keep it from falling out. hope that makes sense Edited August 27, 2017 by Flht01
JDBBQ Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Posted August 27, 2017 Done and family fed. All enjoyed. The vote was that the rubbed were better than non rubbed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6 1
