Why cause you might actually prefer them? I did 3-2-1 ribs once. Then started doing no wrap ribs. Way better. I use to do them at 225 but 250 takes less time and you get the same juicy ribs.
I'm scared I'll make em dry.
Nobody likes dry meat
Isn't that why you rub 'em first???
If they dry out add sauce to them. Most people are surprised I still have not done a pork butt as those seem to be the first thing first timers smoke. Don’t be scared Randy
Dont be scared.
Well they didn’t turn out as I expected. I learned from this and know what to change but not sure I’d do them again. I prefer doing them with a chuck roast. I will say it was the first time I had something that was more of a fail. I do have a pork butt out that will hit the pit early next week so let’s hope this first time of this goes better.
I second this statement. I don't empty the hopper between cooks. My Pit Boss has earned it's money many times over.
what are you using for a charcoal circle?
Piece of scrap stainless tubing from work. I wanted a "Vortex" but my cheap ass wasn't going to spend $40 for one. I believe it is around 8" diameter .060" thick. 8" is a little smaller than I would like and I plan to make another one that is 10"-12" diameter.
Since I was smoking a pork butt I did a cream cheese for a snack at Easter. It didn’t survive.
Over new years the wife took a block and mixed it with pineapple habanero dip mix. They practically ate the bowl. I have some cowboy something or other a friend gave me that I have yet to try with it.
