1st rack of ribs on new smoker

September 17, 2016, 08:37 PM

My first rack of ribs on my new Pitts and Spitts pellet smoker. 5 hours at 235. I finished the ribs on high heat on my venerable Weber E320 for 1 minute per the "last meal ribs" instructions.

I dry brined with coarse kosher salt for 2 hours, then added a small layer of olive oil. Then garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, white pepper (ground), black pepper (ground and course) and cumin.

I've cooked on everything from a trailer set Texas Smokemaster offset, Hasty Bake, WSM and a handful of gas grills, this rack of ribs was by far the easiest, best looking and best tasting thing I've ever cooked, plus I could watch college football and hang out with my two year old son while the P&S pellet took control. I can't believe i didn't switch to pellet sooner.

The Smokemaster at the ranch will always be there, my Hasty Bake, which I considered the best rib cooker around, might need a new home soon.

Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!

Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...

I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.

Glad you are digging your new pit! Super Fun.

I looked on their website and didn't see the Pellet Smoker on there. Is it new?

Yes it is new. You might need to call them to get more info. Pretty sure they can make any of their models a pellet, it's just a matter of putting a hopper on one side as opposed to a firebox.

That's why it's important to keep buying new smokers - you never know when you will find something better...
