@Sea2Ski Nice! There will be some good eats ahead.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
"Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

Thanks @northGAcock! Had to get help on the step stones - too big and too expensive. Mason with Bobcat for the heavy pieces and finish work, but a great project for me last summer, fall, and into the spring. Happy Memorial Day all.

Yardbird with Mickeys rub and pecan smoke; corn with ancho chili powder with mayo binder.

Yes I always run it with water like you said it will creep into the 300s without it plus the water stops the drippings from burning and giving a bad taste. If the temp starts creeping up with water it's easy to add some cold water to bring the temp down.SkinnyV said:
Turned into turbo Ribs. Without the water it shot closer to 325, I added water for the first time ever and it held 270 but by then cook was mostly done. now I will use water because cleanup was not so bad. The ribs were good and not chewy at all so for turbo ribs not bad.Lit said:
How did they come out? 275-300 with no water is hard to do running straight wood.SkinnyV said:Leaving fire box door cracked, temp is running 275-300 and I'm not running water.... my fault being stubborn temp would be lower if I did.
but I'm keeping the smoke nice and light blue for now so we will see. I've seen @Lit say it has been done and he's had great results.
I picked up a good chunk of wood today from a local source so worth a try at least.
it was a good lesson on fire and fire management, next time I'd like to keep it lower longer so I can get more of a smoke ring. That means water, is that how you do it? -
Just pulled ribs off.
this 19 lb-er is going on a little later for an over-nighter.

Getting drunk with no repercussions. No school tomorrow. All whilst making dulce de leche in the SV. Multitasking.

Damnit, I botched that damn thing when trimming it. Had the biggest fat vein I've ever seen and wasn't sure what to keep and what to leave.
Whatever, it'll still be good. Time to get drunkXL & MM BGE, 36" Blackstone - Newport News, VA -
Getting-you guys are several hours behind the program.
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint. -

Rain stopped long enough to finish the long weekend chores - got SWMBO's planters done and flowers planted in several of the tree beds. Time for a cold beer!

Just dropped off 3 St Louis trimmed racks of ribs at the local firehouse. I apologize in advance for the poor quality (even by my standards) pic:
Gotta be the phone...

Ribs must be in the air today. I got 2 racks of baby backs idling at 200 degrees over pecan. Going to let them run for 3 hours at 200 to pick up some smoke. Then I will cut them into individual ribs, dip in a fiery Scotch Bonnet sauce (thinned out with rum) dredge in Fish Fry and deep fry the individual ribs until done. Heaven on a stick.
