Pizza and Baby Backs - w/Pics

I've run the smoker a good 8 times now and I'm starting to get the hang of it.
Today's project was pretty strait-forward and completed without any significant incident, so I'm happy.

All of this was done on my 18.5" WSM

Project #1 - Lunch Pizza

My 4-year-old and I decided to make pizza.
I let her mix the dough and put the pizza together then I slipped it onto a baking stone.
It was tough to keep the temps up, but I wanted to do this on the smoker and not right over the coals this time around.
I've never run the WSM dry before, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
Took about 25min at 325 and turned out so good that the family demanded that I make a second one right away. :becky:






Project #2 - Baby Back Ribs for dinner.

I've done baby backs once before, so this was a lot more familiar to me than the pizza was.
I did one rack dry, the way I like it and one drizzled in sweet'n'spicy sauce the way she likes it.
A little over 3 hours at 225ish, I wrapped the sauced slab for the last 30 min.
I went out and finished my Christmas lights while I wanted, it helps with the temptation to peek.
I do keep my remote thermometer in my pocket though, just in case.

I did hot nuts for dessert while the leftover charcoal finished burning
