Maiden Spicewine cook PRON

[thillin]

Finally got to fire up the new to me Medium Spicewine after the rain today. Cooked a fatty for my 5 year old boy. Some small sausage links I picked up in MS. Dinner was pork steaks, pork chops and beans.

Chugging along in the driveway.

Can you see the sweet blue of cherry?

Fatty on the rack, then sliced.

Sausage about the diameter of a finger.

Pork steaks on the grate.

And resting before serving.

Pork chops were great. Just a simple brine for 6 hours and a little Klose pork rub.

And some Bush's beans kicked up with some bbq sauce, rub and cherry smoke. See the dark spots? That's the crust that formed in the smoker.

Turned out to be a damn fine meal. In-laws and wife loved everything. I think the chops were the best. Really juicy and flavorful for $4.50...

Think I'll keep the Spicewine.:thumb::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Nice job on the first cook Ty !!

(just a note that a 225 door temp is hotter inside. More like 240 in the middle on the middle rack and a bit hotter in the rear and higher shelves. I think that's a plus as it gives you options).

Yep, I charted the temps of each of the 5 shelf levels to get an idea of temp differences. Next time, I'll check rear and front temps.

I made a row of charcoal and lit the middle with a weed burner. I got about 7 hours on about 10lbs of rancher. And a handful of chunks.

Last half of a porkchop for breakfast. Still great heated up. No PRON, so does that mean the calories didn't count?:laugh:

You're killing me...That was supposed to be my Spice box...If I had my tax return sooner, it would have been. Some dumb arse e-filed using my wife's ssn. It wouldn't let me e-file after that. Had to mail them in and still waiting. :mad2: Seriously though...great looking cooker and meal.
