This was the first cook on my FEC120. I found these beef ribs at Resturant Depot. The smoke flavor was a little strong for my taste. I used 100% mesquite at 225 degrees for 4 hours. Next time I think I will mix the pellets 50% hickory and 50% mesquite.

Mesquite will getcha everytime!! I used to mix apple with mesquite in my offset and that was real nice!!
The ribs sure look good!

Lookin good Bill. And you get a gold star for cooking in the cold today.
-
Pappy, I was going to cook today but as you know it is very cold out. Yesterday with the 50 MPH winds and the -22 wind chill the FEC120 stayed within 2 degrees all day of the 225 set point

That's one of a couple of things I haven't smoked. They do look good

I hear ya on the mesquite. Try 25% mesquite and 75% hickory, or better yet Apple (like smokeasaurus suggests). You'll be surprised how much the mesquite still comes through.
Like Smoke, I think apple mixes really well with just a little mesquite. It kind of spices it up a bit.
The ribs sure look good, even if they were a bit smoky.

Looks good.

They look very good despite the over smoke :)

could you tell me why you picked the fec 120 instead of the fec 100? i've wanted a fec100 since i found out about pellet bbqing.

As the FEC 120 is a sweet cooking machine how about some pics of it.

I chose the 120 because I like the firepot being seperated from the cooking area. I temp probed both and found the FEC120 to have a more even heat through out the cooking chamber. They are both good units though

Billy! Why don't you get one of those FEC 120? I'll bring the Cambro and the garden hose! ;) 8)

I was so excitied to eat the wings I forgot to take a picture of them. I am making a batch for the Superbowl. I figure I can fit 150 wings or more on there at one time...Now that is awesome

Trying to post some pics but it says file to large

Ribs look great!
If you want to lighten the mesquite and not add another powerful flavor I would mix with oak in my opinion.

Very good suggestion Marty. I found the problem I had as odd because one of the biggest complaints on the FEC120 is lack of smoke flavor. I am going to do some Pork Ribs this weekend for practice and am going back to Hickory so I will report back what it is like with that. The good part is the Amazen 12 inch tube fits right in front of the firepot perfect if the smoker alone does not kick out the smoke profile I am looking for
