Looks good! You just can't beat a pellet grill/ smoker for ease of use. I currently own two a Louisiana Grills CS570 Country Smoker for home use and a Traeger Jr. I use while camping. I have been burning pellets for over ten years and couldn't cook on anything else. I tried a charcoal an gas grill for camping but it just wasn't the same I gave them away and bought the Traeger Jr. and have been a happy camper ever since. I have made a lot of camping friends over the years just by firing up the junior while camping. People smell the smoke walk over and it all begins. Glad you are enjoying yours. If you haven't already done so, check out Pelletheads.com for a lot of good info and great people....

I wish I could bring my smoker, its a Bradley. But the poor old half ton truck is over loaded according to the weight police!! So we can chip in and buy some ribs and charcoal to make OC some Juicy Ribs!! TBQ Style please!!
 
Problems smoking ribs

The problem I found with smoking ribs, is getting them lit.
The draw is also problematic.

:D

That's why I prefer smoking fish. Once you get the tail lit, they draw a little easier than ribs.
 
Ribs

My son-in-law has a big Traeger ,he swears by it ! It was very costly but he does wonderful things in that smoker . He does fish , turkeys, Mac and cheese, string cheese and when my husband retires in July he will be smoking 50 pounds of meat for pulled pork . Yum ! I think Turbs should do the meat at the frogtober fest and everyone bring the sides !!!!!!!!!!!!
 
The feature that sold me on the Green Mountain grills is that they are wifi capable. I put the app on my android tablet (ios version available too) and I can monitor the status and make adjustments remotely. The app gives you an audio alert if temperature deviates from your preset settings, if the pellet hopper gets low, if the auger malfunctions and when the food reaches temperature. I monitored it and made temperature changes while we were playing cards with our guests.

I looked at that one too. The grilling space was too small for me. If I remember right it wasn't much over one foot square. You can now get the junior with a folding leg kit which makes it nice for hauling around while camping. I bought the kit but haven't installed it yet. Right now I have a tailgating kit installed on it which uses a wheel at each corner and removes the legs that came with it. for a little more money for the junior you gain a lot more cooking space. I'm very glad I got it, wouldn't enjoy cooking while camping without it. It's the first thing I load up when we take a trip.....
 
Well see if I get close to jims!

Hey Turbs,
I found you a smoker for a lot of ribs that could be in Nashville this summer. It's Willie Nelson's old tour bus and the rear room is well seasoned for smoking.:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Now that's just crazy! Technology is great but it's just making us lazier. Sounds pretty cool though.
 
Turbs, Your ribs look wonderful. Meat and smoke are just made for each other. Pellet smokers give you a lot of control. Your rig for smoked ribs sounds great. Are you able to smoke year round?


Last fall I picked up a Pit Barrel Cooker that should work great for camping. The Pit Barrel Cooker is light, easy to move and forgiving. I can't wait for our first trip to try it.

I did smoke a few times this winter, above freezing and no breeze helps!

I'm a huge fan of smoking food. No pellet smoker for me though (I've already got a gas and electric). For me baby backs are at 225 for two hours while smoking. Remove and wrap in foil with a little cranberry juice in the foil.). Place back in for another 2 hours, no smoke required, than remove foil and smoke again for another hour. I agree on the rub first and no sauce but also make sure to pull the membrane off as well (really helps with the tenderness). When your up for it try one of these beautiful little heart attacks. Its called a bacon explosion, of course I coupled it with bacon wrapped fatties.

Almost threw some ribs in the smoker today, but ran out of time. I've never done baby-backs. Do you prefer them to spare ribs? Also never tried doing a brisket. I'm just a bit afraid of ruining such an expensive cut of meat. Boston Butts are my specialty. LOOOOOOOVE me some pulled pork!
 
I guess I'm old school. Have an old Oklahoma Joe side box smoker and a charcoal Weber. Handles briskets,pork,st louis spare ribs fish, shrimp, turkeys, roasts and they all turn out great. Being retired I have plenty of time to watch meat smoke.

Prefer baby backs over spare rib all day.
Affraid of the brisket myself, but I'm going to dive right in.
I'm a rookie @ best when it comes to smoking but I'll most likely dive right in!
No other way to learn! "Trial by fire" [emoji106]
