Dad's first official cook (with pr0n)

[mattdean1003]

New (to him) smoker, country style ribs, drumsticks, and great company. His Trailmaster didn't take much cleaning up before we seasoned it, it's actually in great condition. We popped in 2 high quality thermos from Academy down at grate level and used a big deep aluminum roasting pan for a temporary diffuser. Held temp like a champ, end to end, and there was not a big difference at all. I gave him and my wonderful stepmom a crash course on maintaining temperature and smoke color, the art of a clean fire and all of the joys of cooking on a smoker. I couldn't be happier with the results of the cook. Spending time with them is always a pleasure and it felt really good to teach them how to do something that I am very passionate about. Here's to the first of many cooks on it. Oh...and he also scored a load of cherry wood! And, now for the pr0n!
