    Brothers and sisters it sure is good to be back home and cooking again. I hope that y'all all enjoyed tonight's small cook. But I assure that over the next few days that they will get larger. Much larger. It's great to be interacting with all you fine folks again as well. I truly missed it my friends. But now I'm back with a vengeance!!!!!

    Sorry my friend. Just saw your question about the rib timing. I really didn't have a set time planned out for them. Why? I loaded them with the steaks at 225 degrees to sit under heavy dense smoke for a while. I pulled the steaks at the 45 minute mark give or take a little. At this point with the ribs still hanging I ramped up the smoker temperature to 275 degrees. I let them run another 3 hours give or take a little. At this point I panned them with some beef broth and melted butter. Then I let them run close to a hour give or take a little. By my calculation total cook time was just shy of the 5 hour mark which is usually about spot on for BBRibs. Had I not been smoking the steaks I could have cut the rib cooking time a little by running 275 from start to finish. Again sorry for the delayed response. I assure you it was not intentional my friend. Thanks for looking and I'm glad that you enjoyed my return cook.

    That was truly a magnificent feast...and you call that a small cook. It would take me three weeks to be able to cook all that. Like one of our other fine forum friends said earlier thanks for all the recipes, insight, and pics. I've learned more in the past few weeks from everyone since joining the forum than I did since I started cooking many many years ago.

    After the cook was complete I took the opportunity while the big smoker was still hot to put 3 coats of seasoning on my new lodge pan. Killed 2 birds with one stone.image

    Use the egg! I use shortening personally, just whatever you use heat the CI first and apply the fat on a hot pan and wipe everything off so it's a super thin layer and let that bake off (350ish indirect) for 30 to 45 minutes, then apply another coat the same way. I like to do 4-5 coats like that, though 3 should be plenty.

    Brother blind I have to earn the Mrs. SGH seal of approval. For this cook she awarded it to me!!!
    @tulocay‌
    Will be glad to. I use PAM spray for oil. I spray the pan down very well. Then try to wipe it off with paper towels. Don't worry no matter how much you wipe you will only wipe off the excess. Then I place the pan upside down in a 375 smoker, egg or oven. Doesn't matter which. Bake for 1 hour. Allow to cool and keep respecting until you achieve the desired coating that you desire. Nothing to it my friend. Also I prefer to do it outside on the smoker with oak wood. Why? The pan will pick up the oak smell and I love it!! Hope this helps my friend.

    Thank you both for the kind words my friends. Glad that y'all enjoyed my cook.

    There are many different procedures that will yield good results. The one I use above is both simple and fool proof so I have stuck with it. Here is my 17" lodge seasoned with the same above method.image
