Over the very rainy weekend I decided to pull out the old tanker. Its been over a year since I used it.
When I saw Tommy post though I had to use a real smoker... After cleaning it up and doing a hot burn in it I set up a high rack for some ribs. I had pork and beef in the fridge ready to go.
I seasoned them and let them rest for a couple hours, smoked them with oak and pecan for about two hours around 235. Then I wrapped them in foil and finished them off.
A friend showed up for a hour so they stayed on longer then expected but it didn't hurt them any.

Thank You for keeping it "real" with that cook 8) That is one sweet cooker and the ribs show it........just can beat real American wood for Que... 8) 8)
Question: did ya get the bark knocked off the splits? I stopped doing that a while back, can't tell no difference and I can still count to 10 ;)

Awesome looking ribs Terry! Love the smoke ring on both!

I am only 4 hours away, even if I stop to pee. I'd eat all that.

I did not knock the bark off. I didn't even use splits... I had some hole logs in the barn and I just chunked them in. Since I was burning out the tank first I just used the coals for the cook.
Sometimes I'll knock it off and others I dont.... Like you I can rarely tell any difference by the time the meat goes on.
The tank will hold a lot of food! But the best thing is that it will hold 220-250 very easily on the main centered grates. Once it's hot it does require a lot of fuel to maintain. I use a camp grate to lift things farther up where 300-350 will hold. It takes practice and experimenting but that's part of the fun.
I have a second tank that's a little smaller. I hope to make a vertical out of it and maybe even put a pellet pusher on it in time.

Yours looked every bit as good and I'm positive they were. I did however get a "these are great" from Kerry and she ate them with out sauce twice now... I'll take that any day. ;D

I love the way you did beef and pork ribs both. I'd be reaching for the beef first!

Terry, that is a great looking smoker. I love the way those ribs turned out.
There is a guy in Houston that has a trailer just like yours. He parks it next to a Shell station at Pinemont and Ella and sells bbq brisket and ribs right off the trailer. He has got to be making a killing because he has customers waiting in line all the time. He can cook a lot of good meat on that smoker.

Never used a tank like that and I know there is a learning curve, looks like you got yours dialed in nice
