ahh, a fellow homebrewer. Sucking on an IPA right now. Chris from Orion called me today. His service is great. I have nothing bad to say about him, the company or their service. Again, my preference of food doesn't match what the orion produces. That doesn't mean it's a bad product. The...

ya, i'm not sure if i'll get a chance to do a brisket. i'm considering a return of the cooker. the ol' lady likes it because I can cook up tons of food. For me, I'm about quality, not quantity. That's not to say the orion doesn't make good food. The flavor is good. It is only my preference...

the chicken was good. good smoked flavor from the apple chips. i'm a crispy skin eater (espeically when i use a rub), but even though it was very dark in color, it still didn't crisp the skin that much. I put oil on the bird and used tons of apple chips. I cooked the ~5.5lb bird for about...

I think they needed another 10min.. they weren't completely falling off the bone... about 80% falling off the bone, 20% stuck on the bone. I don't know.. The texture is still the same. Not really a good pull apart/flaking/pulled meat. I'm not going to say anything further about the cooker...

well, my 2nd batch of ribs are in the cooker. Pulling them in about 15min. I got a chicken going in afterwards. I'll let y'all know how it went.

congrats on your brisket! sounds delish. the guy from orion called me today and said it appears i cooked them too long and this is why they were rubbery and such. I got another 3 racks of ribs that I'm going to try tomorrow w/ their suggestions. I don't know, the way these came out, I...

The chips were straight out of the bag, no soaking. The cuts of meat were from 2 separate purchases, all 3 were like this. The film was pulled off too if that matters. O'well... I emailed Orion asking about it and they said they'll call me today. I don't know.. I know I did everything...

Ah, thanks for the info

well, I do have to say that I'm a bit disappointed. The meat is fall off the bone and all that, but it's rubbery. I guess they'd be better if I tossed them on the grill and seared them for a while. I don't know. The meat's texture was all in big chunks, not pulilng apart, rubbery, etc. I...

Ok, I worry way too much. That was very simple. Dry rub on ribs, put chips in cooker, hang the ribs, light charcoal, and drink beer. Ahhhh. That's nice. They've been in for about 45min now. I ended up using almost the full bag. Man, that smells good. I'll post a pic of the final...

Will do Timmy. I read this on another forum: "I cooked 1 rack of pork ribs and 1 rack of beef ribs last night for about an hour and a half(I used about half the recommended charcoal), and they were great." That's a start for me. He added about 15min to the recommended cooking time.. not...

Hey dfergie, g' morning. How much mesquite do you use, the same as rocky? (fill the gap?). I may consider using regular charcoal in the future w/ a couple chimney starters. It may be a cheaper way to go in the long run. Thanks for posting all of your experiences.

Cool, I was worrying about putting too much smoked flavor in there. If you filled the gap, then how the heck are other people saying they over did it w/ mesquite? Maybe they put a bunch in the drip pan? Weird. Thanks for the reassurance! Ya, I figured that if I use less charcoal, the times...
