Outstanding ribs! Did them 4 hours at 275. This was the first time I've done ribs on the FEC-100 (as you can tell by the newness in the video!)

Great job on the ribs. They look tasty.
Even a better job on the video. Professional type editing I might add. Thanks for sharing.

I would say so. I have 4 pork butts on right now to see how they turn out. I see a bulk order of pellets in my future!
Good call on the 4 butts. It looks like you could use a bit more seasoning.
Pellets - I've been using CS/FE hickory until recently...switched to mesquite. Quite a bigger bang for the buck smoke profile with the mesquite.

Yeah the rib cook was only the 2nd time I had her fired up.
I'm currently using hickory. With my past smokers, I used that on everything. You dont find the mesquite overpowering at all?
Nope and my 1st time around with mesquite was a 10 hr brisket cook.
I like the hickory pelz on chicken and ribs but prefer a heavier smoke flavor on butts and brisket. The mesquite imparts a nice tangy sweet smoke without overpowering the meat. Try a bag to judge for yourself.

I'll sample these butts when they come off of the hickory smoke. I may switch it up and try the mesquite on the next one if I'm not satisfied with the smoke
Great video!
I noticed a decent amount of dust when you poured the pellets into the hopper. For what it's worth I always sift my pellets before putting them in the hopper, it helps to eliminate a build up of dust in the auger and down the shoot.

Yes I was thinking the same thing. I plan on pouring them into a bucket first in front of a fan to blow all that out. Then dump the bucket into the hopper.
