New Super 55 drum smoker - Iron Man is on the job!

Finally broke my Super 55 out of the packing and got her painted up last week, fired up and did a rack of ribs.

I like this thang! A little different flavor with the charcoal instead of wood, but it was good! Threw a few chunks of maple in there.

3/4 basket of Jealous Devil lump, held cooking level temps for over 21 hours! I had to leave at that point to go out to the shop and get some work done, so I don'[t know when it finally dropped below 200ºF, but I was IM-PRESSED!

I foresee some good overnight cooks on this thing!

That is a great looking cook. Great bark on those ribs! That drum is a beast.

(Also, good to see that cutting board is holding up well!)

Haha! Yes! I don't oil/wax it as often as I should, but it does get used!
