Hi, all! Yesterday I made my first AR meal! Before I begin, I must state that /I was lame and didn’t take any pictures, so you’ll need good visualization skills. Somehow I think most members will have no problem envisioning cooking meat. 
First, I made Last Meal Baby Back Ribs in my new-to-me 18†WSM. This was the first time trying temperature control for me and it worked pretty well. I was able to keep the temps average around 250 measured from the lid (I have new Thermoworks products on the way!) using Harry Soo’s version of the Minion method (donut). The ribs took a bit over 4 hours and they were really good with a bit of apple smoke. I enjoyed the Memphis Dust rub.
Next, I made some steakhouse burgers on my 22.5†Weber Kettle using indirect cooking first and some hickory for smoke. When it was time for the sear, I moved them over to my non-descript gas grill on Grill Grates that were smokin’ hot. They ended up being a bit overdone thank to my horrible Oneida digital thermometer that seems to be totally out of whack. I can’t wait for my Thermopop and DOT devices to arrive. Despite this, they were tasty.
Finally, I made the Bourbon Barbecue Beans recipe and used my slow cooker. These really stole the show – wonderful recipe and perfect with the ribs. Everyone wanted the recipe. There should be a few more visitors to the site today!
Really great site with wonderful, proven tips. Thanks to everyone. Next time, I’ll be sure to take some pictures.
