First Smoker
«

So after listening to a bunch of folks I decided instead of building an offset smoker I would start with a pellet smoker.
Did some research and for the price point, the REC TEC seems well suited for what I want.
http://www.rectecgrills.com/rec-tec-wood-pellet-grill-rt-680/
Ordered some different wood pellets and now am on a mission for a good source for meat and recipies. Joined the BBQ Brethren and think I want to smoke ribs first.
Any ideas on rubs or technique is apprecaited. Ive read about the 3-2-1 method but since this is my first, I thought Id ask for some advice.
Thanks RM

as far as rubs go, they are a dime a dozen. here is a link to the smoke ring rub page.

So the grill has a "smoke" button on it that alternates the fan to supposedly make more smoke. When using that at 225 degrees setting the temp was running 20 degrees hotter than the set temp. Once I pulled them and wrapped them after 2 hours I set it to 225 without the smoke button and it held temp perfectly and produced as much if not more smoke.
After 2 more hours I unwrapped and spread a little Stubbs sauce on them and cooked for another hour.
We wrecked a slab in about 10 minutes between the wife, me and the kids. Got one more left over for tomorrow.
Hope to get up at 04:00 and start a pork butt to have ready for lunch. Gonna make some vinegar based sauces to sauce it with and put it on some of my wife's home make bread....

Red Neck, Don't eat that stuff!
Safety first my friend...
Find someone to sample it first...you know, let them take the risk and all that
I could/would volunteer, but you'd likely also find some willing (and brave) men scattered about on this site...
Don't take a chance, life is short!

For butts, I put in foil pans at 160* with foil tight sealed around the lip. Pull foil off at 190 or so, and finish to 195 ish. Same concept, steam with foil, but this way you also get to capture the juices for pouring back over after pulling. Just an idear! Have fun hoss

Bone slid right out. Made some slaw. Earlier I made vinegar sauce. Cider vinegar , black pepper , red pepper flakes, texas petes hot sauce, etc
I'm fat and happy.
