firing up the smoker, want some ribs!!   got 2 racks of St. Louis style ribs for $2.99..  $2 cheaper than baby backs so had to go with them...  got them rubbed and ready to go on!!!

I have a pellet smoker also. Plus an electric Masterbuilt. The pellet smoker just doesn't give enough smoke taste for me. So I put a Smokin Tube inwith the ribs.
   
That's a good price nowadays.    What kind of smoker do you have?

I have a Green Mountain pellet smoker and I have a propane wood one too..  using the pellet smoker today..

I've tried the tube in with a variety of grills n smokers but the tube ends up losing the oxygen battle and goes out. Any issues Ken?

[KEN W]

Yeah....I had that also. Started filling the tube only half way with the pellets. Not packed in as much and they stayed lit. Make sure it is really lit well with the torch.

[Pulleye16]

Smoking watermelon????

[Pulleye16]

It was “edible.”  It would have been a lot better had i not used the brine and so much salt.

It was something fun too smoke.

The only way watermelon should be doctored up is with vodka!!!

Dad used bring home 3 or 4 a week when we young, ate to many... like all the rest of the melons   

[KEN W]

Grandkids love yellow watermelon. Bring on August and homegrown ripe melons.   

[Gunner55]

A lot more cantaloupe & honey dew disappear here. We do make a melon salad that has watermelon in it that's good otherwise they seem pretty bland tasting to me most of the time.

[mike89]

well got the corned beef on the smoker and for good measure I decided to smoke a few burgers too!!!   

[LPS]

The wife made a turkey pot pie hot dish yesterday so I may be waiting a few days to do my brisket.  I have read to leave them in the cryovac for a week or two to tender it up so should be ok next weekend. 

[mike89]

Yeah me to. I make my own chicken noodle and beef barley. A LOT better than Campbells.

[mike89]

rack of St. Louis style ribs and a couple burgers going on the smoker soon!!!   

[Leech~~]

When it stops blowing and raining, hopefully tomorrow.  I'm throwing on 3-4 doz dry rub hot wings in the smoker!  Hope they turn out as good as last time! 

[mike89]

good luck with the wind!!!!  that's why mine is in the garage, close to the door...  not raining now so just the wind and it's not to bad so far...

what dry rub do you use on the wings?? 

I used a smoky mesquite today on the ribs

[Leech~~]

what dry rub do you use on the wings?? 

I wish I remember or even wrote it down.  I just open the spice cabinet, pull out a bunch that sound or taste good for what I'm trying to make. Throw them all in a zip lock and mix them up.  I try not to go to salty, and I hate sweet or fruity on smoked meat.  You will never find maple sugar, honey, pineapple or any of that crap on my smoked meat!

I will use some sugar  to get a little burnt look and some for taste.  BUT it is not the big taste.  I like to run through the cabinet too.  I haven't done wings for years and they look so good when you guys post pics of them.  What temp and for how long Leech?
