New Smoker

[RNF]

]I have been wanting a trailer rig for awhile and I finally made the decision to do it. I picked it up Thursday and seasoned it that evening. I had fishing trips Friday and Saturday so this morning I fired it up for the 1st smoke on it. I put a pork butt and a brisket on at 6 am this morning then added 3 racks of ribs at 11 am. Just before it was time to take the ribs off I added some smoked sausage and hot links. The smoker performed good holding between 230 - 260 degree for the whole time with me adding a split about every 45 minutes.


The wife and I kept one rack of ribs for supper and I gave my parents and a friend the other two set of ribs. I did the brisket for another friend and will take the pork butt and hot links to work tomorrow to feed the crew.
A few pictures.



How much fire to maintain about 250 degree

That's a real smoker right there. Love my Klose stick burner. If you ain't burning sticks your just pretending.

I fed about 10 guys lunch with the pork butt for a couple of days. It was good on a bun with a little Head Country sauce on it.

one of my friends lived in Tulsa for 20+ years, now he’s up here in Michigan. He introduced me to head country sauce. The original is soooo damn good! We order some every couple months.

I have not tried it out other than checking temperatures in it. I probably will not use it much when smoking at home but it will come in handy when we are camping at the lake. I fired up the smoker again this morning doing a couple of pork butts and a brisket. I gave one pork butt to a friend who kept me supplied with fresh home grow tomatoes this summer. I pulled the other and froze in vacuum sealed bags and then shared the brisket with my parents for supper tonight.

Thanks to all. I am really enjoying this smoker. It is a lot easier to maintain temps than the small offset I had before.

That’s serious good right there. I do a lot of smoking on my Big Steel Keg (much like a egg style) you nailed it. Nice smoker by the way!
