Chicken legs smoked on the Weber kettle. Southwest rub and Italian butter under the skin. Waiting for my pork loin to be done :/ Seems to have stalled at 135.
Hickory/maple smoked, 250 for about 3 hours, IT of 165.

Half pork loin hickory/maple smoked on the Weber kettle. Montral chicken seasoning as a rub and larded with garlic slivers.
About 4 hours at 250 to an it of 150 and turned out perfect for slicing. Very juicy and tender.

Mild Italian, beef, preserved honey-garlic pork sausage. All the above done at about 150 degrees F for about 3 hours. Goes well with a sweet chile sauce. Deeeeeeeeeelicious!!


Good grief! That was 5 years ago when we knew little to nothing about smoking meats. Looks good but at 150F I'm surprised we aren't all dead from food poisoning. :digging:

They turned out pink, juicy and tender :)
Got a lot of smoked sausage. These are great in any recipe that uses sausage. I want to add some to a spaghetti sauce.


My God I hope nobody followed those directions way back then. Smoker temp of about 250, cook to an IT of about 200 to 210 depending on the thickness of the beef ribs.

Smoked beef spares and beef grilling ribs.Kept it simple. Half were rubbed with 'Addictive' spice mix and a southwest mix, the rest were rubbed with salt, pepper, a bit of garlic powder and a bit of onion powder. Sat overnight with the rub. 2.5 hrs in the smoke, 2.5 hrs wrapped with a little water at about 250. Didn't want any sugars.Some of the ribs were 3" thick and weighed a pound a piece. Turned out perfect. A bit of tug to them, not falling off the bone. Used maple for the smoke. Served with a really great pasta salad.

Not sure if it's still there but there was a Weber kettle just like mine in the Castanet classifieds, something like $30
It's a charcoal grill but they can be used as a smoker, one of the best out there.

I just checked, it's gone. There is this little beast but no idea how good a smoker it is. I prefer a Weber kettle though. Better at controlling temps, uses less fuel etc.

Safeway Bernard and Tonasket, Wash. They do get some nice ones at Safeway but they get pretty darn pricey. There was a price reduction on some so I got about a pound and a half (two ribs) for about $6 Grilling ribs and spareribs are the meatier ones.
