So to keep a long story short, I bought a used Smokenator for a friend who is new to the Kettle world. He was having trouble with his ribs and keeping temp low.
I have never used this product so I thought I would test out our new competition rub on some ribs while learning to use it.
OK, I admit, I just wanted to play with his new toy!
It took a couple hours to figure out the vent settings to hold at 250f. But once I got those set, it was smooth sailing till the last glaze was applied!
I have to admit that I thought I would be moving the meat around to keep it away from the heat source. But I actually didn't run into that problem at all.
I would highly recommend this product to those that don't have access to a smoker.
