The Orion is in use today; smoking up 3 chickens. The Weber is doing duty too, with 3 large pieces of pork. Smells abound. Life is good.

Haven't cooked with my Orion since before my house smoked... I have a 4.5 lb pork roast in Apple Cider vinegar for a cook tomorrow, also have a beef rib rack I'm going to put rub on this afternoon for same cook.

The Plan
4.5 lb Pork roast
Rib Rack
Ignition: 11:35
(real start closer to 12:30 due to poor quality lump charcoal)
Poured some of the Apple Cider vinegar into drip pan
Mesquite Chips
Pulled at 3:35 @ 197 f
letting sit in oven for a little while...

Pork shoulder? Half, I should say?

Which kind of ribs?

 

[dfergie]

Butt roast, baby back ribs. Sliced the meat off the ribs & stashed for lunch at work.

 

[navychop]

Sliced the meat off the ribs? OMG! Is that even LEGAL where you live?
