Got that Sam's Club membership today. Signed in and started shopping online for some meat, more rub, a 40lb. bag of pellets and some other things...was up to over $100 in the blink of an eye. Whoa nellie! Don't get my next dole check until August 24th. Removed it all from cart. Screw that, we're going out there in person in the morning. Want to see exactly what I'm getting.
Got my chicken thighs, drumsticks and some wing sections marinating for tomorrow.
Give that thing another whirl before I try to do 4 or 5 racks of ribs for company. Still a rookie at smoking.
Thighs will probably take longest. Trying to figure out if putting thighs on the bottom, drumsticks in the middle and wing sections up at the top will work out with putting everything in at the same time. Or just put wings and drumsticks in a little later. Really hate opening the thing up when you get the temp right. Pretty sure it cooks cooler at the top.
Or maybe start em all at the same time and take the smaller items out earlier. Still have to open it...
Asked about cleaning the water pan in the dishwasher the other day. Completely forgot that I was supposed to wrap that in foil before cooking. D'oh!
