Ribs in my new 3D Smoker

[gregbooras]

Well the maiden voyage of my 3d is now complete.

I decided to keep it simple for the first smoke since this is the first time I would use the Auber.

I put a rack of baby back ribs in for 5 hours, checked added sauce and then smoke for another half an hour. The ribs turned out great and dinner consisted of Ribs, Beans and Corn!

Tomorrow, I will smoke a 12 lb. chuck brisket!

Looks good Greg.  I'm doing two racks of baby backs this weekend.  Good luck with the brisket.

Thanks Chris,

I am prepping the brisket right now and plan to put it in the smoker around 5:00 am tomorrow.

I don't know Greg, that 3D looks pretty cavernous and scary!!  I feel much safer with my #2.  ;D Looks like a great meal!! Did you do the beans in the smoker too or did you do the oven method?

Hey Bob,

The 3D is one huge beast compared to the #2. At first I thought my wife would complain that it was to large for the deck, but I put it in the corner and she is ok with it!

The beans I did in the oven for 2.5 hours.

Can't beat the real estate in the #3.  I have yet to even come close to testing the capacity on mine.  But it's there if I need it.

I pushed mine to the 45 lb limit yesterday...4x pork butts which turned out (almost) perfect...except for when my wife unplugged the smoker so she could plug in her phone charger without knowing it was the smoker power cord...but they were all within 5* of my ideal 205* anyway, so pretty much done. I struggled to fit them all in, but only because the temp probe extends so far into the box and the only position that i could put a second rack with two butts on it.

Can't beat the real estate in the #3.  I have yet to even come close to testing the capacity on mine.  But it's there if I need it.

Sounds like she did you an unknown favor!   Through lots of experimentation (tasty, tasty experimentation), I've found 190-195 is the sweet spot for pork butts.  200+ dries out way too much, when you factor in the carry-over cooking while its resting in the cooler.  Give her a kiss and say "Thanks Honey!" ;D
