is One Chatty Farker
On Saturday I drove to Lemoore with a buddy towing an empty trailer for a visit with brother boggster and this. The trailer didn't come back empty:
Sunday morning I got the new-to-me SS-Two prepped for cooking:
Put some lit Royal Oak lump down the chute & topped with unlit lump (looking under the drip pan/deflector at where the heat & smoke comes into the cooking chamber):
On the top 2 cooking racks, I put in a couple of country style ribs, rib tips, beef ribs, and 15 lbs of pork butt (and a couple of Stoker pit probes):
The country style ribs (rubbed with Simply Marvelous Sweet & Spicy) didn't take long:
The rib tips (rubbed with SM Spicy Apple) and beef ribs (Rub Co Original & Santa Maria combo) came off next:
And a few hours later, a butt rubbed with SM Cherry & Plowboys Yardbird came off and was wrapped in foil for a rest:
It ended up being pulled:
The other butt was rubbed with SM Cherry, SM Sweet & Spicy, and SM Season All and foiled around 165 and pulled off around 185. This one ended up with some slices, chunks, and some chopped:
It was a pretty long day but I'm happy with the end result and I learned some things about cooking in the SS-Two on my first cook on a gravity fed smoker.
Now I just need some more reasons to cook a bunch so I can justify firing up this big (to me) cooker!
Thanks for looking and a big thanks to boggster for selling me the SS-Two!
