Alright, gave the new girl a few spins. Had some failures and a success. First smoke was whole chicken on mode 1, and was pure garbage coming out. Drying the skin in the fridge for 24 hours might work when doing rotisserie but definitely not for smoking. Skin was like eating dried collagen casing and smoke flavor was non existent. Second time at bat tried ribs 4 ways, also on mode 1. Smoke taste was "present" but not what I was hoping for and salt was too high. Last night did ribs on mode 2 and it was a new world. Deep smoke ring, beautiful flavor and color, tender with slight tug. I think I might just love this Silverbac. BTW, running a custom blend of lumberjack pellets.
We’ve all been there, learning from our mistakes. Your ribs look good! Poppers too. I had similar luck with chickens in the beginning. I learned to dry them good with paper towels before hitting the grill and higher heat makes for crispier skin. I’ll do mine about 375*
When I smoke wings, I finish them on my propane grill for 30-60 seconds at 600 degrees. Crisps the skin up nicely. I like to smoke whole, bone-in turkey breasts on the pellet grill. I just do it at 350. Still get some smoke flavor, and the skin isn't rubbery.
