My new FEC arrived today, (no pics, had a co-worker come to help me straight from work, didnt want to look like a complete freak) and Im excited. I know there are lots of Cookshack employees that lurk on this sight, and you all have been terrific in supporting my slightly neurotic manner of verifying the cooker got here before this weekend. So thanks. I have a big cookout next weekend (60 people), which was the thing that pushed the need for the smoker, I wanted at least one run before that.
To everyone else, I frequently use the Mr Brown recipe from "Smoke and Spice"(excellent smoking cookbook) with substantially less salt for ribs and butts, with great success. However I was thinking of being lazy this weekend and using the rib rub that came with the FEC. Does it end up too salty? any warnings or words of wisdom?
