Blowin snow and BBQ

Boy, that looks really good Randy. I see in your second picture, you left you "beujolis" on top of the FEC. lol

Bob

Hey, you left the secret sauce out...

now EVERYONE is going to be buying MW.

I have just took delivery of my FEC100 and would like to know the best way to cook loin back ribs. Also how long to smoke along with how long to cook and at what temp.
Joe

Congratulations. I cook mine at 275* for 3.5-4 hours. No foil needed with the FE. Comes out great everytime.

Joe, I smoked these for 1.3/4 hr. in MN this time of year that's about 120 on the temp. went to 225 for 2 hrs. and then 275 for 1hr. Pulled the ribs and and foiled them while I blasted my chicken at 325 pulled chicken sauced the ribs and put them back in for about 15 min.
If i can give you any advice on using your FE,I'd say go into smokinokie's BBQ guide. You'll get tons of info out of that. then go back into the archives and read the posts. There's more info in those sites than you'll ever need. Good luck with your new FE

Randy

I want to thank the both of you and I will let you know how they turn out.

Joe

Joe I forgot to mention, If cookshack ever offers another class, don't think twice- go!!

You'll pick up some really valuable information on how to BBQ. Plus you'll get the chance to meet some really great people, most of whom you'll find on this site.

Randy, Thanks for the information. I have had problems getting my fec100 started. I tried the 3 minutes on at the smoke setting and then off and back on at the 3 minutes smoke setting and I do get smoke and when you look in the pot you see it burning. The problem is when you turn it up to lets say 180 the pot just overflows and the temp never got over 50 degrees. The temp here has been between 25 - 34 degrees all weekend.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Joe,

If you're getting smoke, it's working fine. What may be happening is that you're getting power fluctuations. You may need to run it off a battery and inverter. Look back through the owners archives and you'll see several topics about battery power.

If the power fluctuates, the ignitor stops working and you will get a pot full of pellets.

Hey Joe,Have you been getting my E-mails? I have sent you 3 since Fri. adressing your problem. It appears that Eddy left his cell # in another thread for you. Nobody knows the FE better than FE. Good luck

Randy

Hi Randy, is it cold there in Minnesota in January? Those ribs and brisket look fantastic! I second your advice about the class.

(No mention will be made of the Vikings and/or Randy Moss out of respect to Randy and Craig.)

Hi Tom, it's not bad today about 30. Nice job on your rose bowl win, that one had to feel real good.
Has me wondering, do you think the Vikings could win the rose bowl? Naw who am I kidding?

Randy

Hello Randy, No I have not received any of your e mails that you have sent me. My e mail address is joeamore@earthlink.net. Thanks for your help.

Randy, Problem solved. Fan motor for combustion was froze up. Worked it loose and everything is fine. Thank you

Now you can get to makin some great Q. What are you going to do first? Keep us informed on your cooks.

Randy

Tom,

Are you telling me the Vikings aren't in the Super Bowl? I could have swore that some of the players were going.
