3 spares going in the 025 today

bubbasz1Member

I bought a pack of spares from the store for .99lb in August. 13LB'S. Turned out to be 3 big racks, OMG, had to do some trimming but I got most in. Two on the top shelf one on the bottom with the tips I had to cut off for it all to fit. One rubbed in Garlic & Pepper mix from McCormics, one in Rib rub from Cookshack, one in trail dust from High Mountain, and the tip and bits I could put on were Cookshack chicken rub. A chunk of Mulberry at 230 Degrees. We will be taste testing at about 7:00 tonight.

Good luck.

Not sure if you're asking for help or just telling.

My thoughts. Those are full spare's, you could have trimmed them down to St. Louis.

Not sure what time they went in (post was 11:43 central) but they'll quite possibly take 6 or 7 hours.

Don't even open the door for the first 5 hours. You can also bump the temp up at 5 hour to get them done.

OR just let them do and see how they finish and when.

Just telling, and I figured to switch top to bottom at the 5 hour mark or should I just leave them alone. I might bump the temp up to 240 or so, I would like to eat before it's too late, but it was a busy morning so I got them in later than I wanted. It's actually a little after one here so I already lost an hour.

More beer!!

6 Hours = Perfect. All were delicious, was one better than the other, I don't think so. Smoke flavor was a little lite, and I used at least 6 ounces of Mulberry, next batch maybe apple, see how they fair.

Mulberry?

Yeah, it, apple and other similar woods will always give you a light smoke.

Mix some other woods in there if you want more; oak, hickory, pecan.

Glad they came out.
