New Backwoods G2 Party - Testing Rib Recipe

EggSmokeVa

Purchased a gently used Backwoods smoker from a fellow egghead.. Firing it up for the first time today to test some tweaks to my rib recipe.



One slab coated in yellow mustard.. The other just apple cider vinegar.. Two different versions of my usual rub too.

Going on the smoker at 275 until they're done! Using Apple and cherry wood. More pics to come ..happy Saturday everyone

Looking good brother!

Very nice love my backwoods. You probably know but it's possible to run it as a stick burner with small splits. Can't wait to see the pics you running it with water?

Guy I brought it from runs it with the water pan filled with sand... Trying that first.. Then I'll try water next and decide which one I like best

Sweet. I run a Chubby G2 for Competition. I love my Backwoods. I always run mine with water, may have to give sand a try.

I really like the water option with the fatboy I can drain some water mid cook and add cold water to drop the temp if I need to. My pan isn't removable so I had never thought of sand. Ribs look great.

Lit you can simply sit a large, disposable aluminum pan in your water pan and fill it with sand if you want to avoid the clean up hassle. It will work almost equally as well. I have done it with 2 pans in my Vault.

Ribs cooked pretty fast... These are definitely going to be fall of the bone.. But that's what the family prefers anyway... (I like mine closer to competition style) but it's all good... Pics to come

Next time I'll have to wrap for 45 mins or so.. These were fairly thick spares so I figured they'd be ok... But that's how the game goes some times lol

One rack actually he'd up much better than the other in terms of being overdone/too fall off the bone. 

Flavor is on the money! - serving with sweet corn and roasted potatoes

Awesome.  Looking for extra capacity so researching Backwoods because of your post.  Thanks!  On the other hand my wife says, "@#%@%$#!"   lol

Do the onions make a taste difference?

Those are some fantastic looking ribs. I would love to add one of those Backwoods to the cooking camp.

It's hard to be certain if the onions add flavor or not... My gut tells me yes... It's definitely worth a try... The smell is amazing.

My first cook on it... It's awesome.. A lot of the same benefits as the BGE just a lot more real estate
