Inaugural smoke
« on: September 28, 2019, 05:42:43 PM »
Baby backs, stuffed Poblano peppers and a mustard oil cabbage. I typically do a 2-2-1 with ribs but it seems as if most folks never open the smoker when it gets started. What about foiling, basting, spritzing, etc?

Hi Chris - I don't spritz with the electric although with my old offset I did.  Regarding foiling, I did it once or twice and found it more trouble than it's worth.  But both spritzing and foiling are purely personal.  Some do and some don't.  What a few have done is foil some and leave the rest naked and choose which one passed the family test.

Thanks! Great idea, a taste off! For what it's worth, the first cook was fantastic! I did foil out of habit but will try both methods next time.

looks great.  did you cook the meat in the poblanos first or did you put in raw?

Thanks!

They were stuffed with pre-cooked chorizo just to get some of the grease out, then mixed with cream cheese, cheddar and sour cream I think. My wife concocted these. If it was grind beef it would have gone in raw.
