Smoking

A few weeks ago, I snagged a propane smoker that our neighbor across the alley was pitching out. We found a natural gas hose on Amazon and THD had the necessary brass fittings to convert it to natural gas. I also opened up the orifice from .038" to .062" to compensate for the difference in fuel heat capacity.


JP scored some pork ribs at Target. We tried our hand at trimming them up and doing a basic rub: pepper, salt, garlic, and chili powder. 


It took a while of playing around with the vents and burner control. Close the vents too much, and the flame will go out. 


It was a perfect day to sit on the patio and chat with our neighbor while keeping an eye on the temperature. Our efforts paid off, and we had some tasty ribs for dinner.
