Enjoying the U.S. Open and having some beers! -
I'm not a huge fan of chrome but they do look pretty damn good on the silver birch
-
Thanks John. Damn I never remember to make the slaw! One of these days I will lol. We did make sandwiches out of them. Probably make some tacos today with all the left overs.

Smoked a butt yesterday. Started it around 12am and pulled it off at around 230 pm. Let it go overnight with no issues and steady temps at about 245°F.
My own dry rub going on.
About 7 hours into the smoke.
Nice bark forming
my favorite part!
Let it rest for several hours and about to be pulled.
Good smoke ring and the meat was really moist.

That looks awesome Cajun. I plan on throwing a butt on the smoker Sunday night for Monday's dinner.
-
Cajun u wasted no time on buying a new smoker! That's awesome. Can't wait to see what you smoke up!

Welcome to the site Adam.
Be careful hanging with those two RB's Alex and Jason. They will inspire you to spend too much money on your truck.
Hey Jason; Congrats on going over 5,000.
Lol. Thanks john. I try not to spend that much money. It just never works lol -
Welcome to the site. I'm down in cutler bay. Nice to see more local guys.

Someone PM Chris.
Sweet looking truck Brother. Good luck with your sale.
Just texted him. Sweet looking truck. Good luck with the sale -
OH my GOD you guy's are killing me!!!! I am locking up shop and heading home to fire up the smoker! That grub looks so good I can't resist keeping the smoker going for the whole Memorial day weekend. Great work gentlemen, Y'all gave me some new Idea's to roll with.
Awesome! post up some pics when you get a chance. Always love to get new ideas and recipes.

I have had a smoker for 5 years but don't nearly smoke as much as I want to... I get to smoke something about once a week in the summer and maybe 1-2 times a month in the winter... I have stand up vertical smoker just wide enough for a full size turkey but tall enough to fit almost two lol... I have all the wood chips from apple, cherry, alder, hickory, mesquite etc. but I go through a lot of apple, hickory, and mesquite as I do mostly poultry and beef... I just got done smoking some sucker from the river last weekend and it turned out really good with alder and a hint of cherry... The only thing I do differently with my ribs is after a thick wet smoke I flash grill my ribs for just a couple mins each side to caramelize the BBQ sauce like svens chipotle or a good homemade stuff... Mmmm Mmmmm good... I love to smoke and cook anything from soups to pastas and any type of meat from duck, venison to cow...
Nice man. Sounds like you get quite a bit of smoking done. I def don't get that much time do to my crappy work schedule.
Yeah its all just personall preference. St. Louis Ribs usually have less meat, but more fat which can make them more tender. Loin backs (which are very similar to baby backs) usually have a lot more meat on them and can be made just as tender if cooked right.
Thanks for the info. I did not know that. I will look into them for sure.
Here's some more stuff I have smoked recently
pork butt and abt's
Smoked bbq beans
Some injected & smoked chicken thighs
smoked meatloaf. -
Looks great man. I am jealous of the shaved gate. Mine is getting done soon. You just have me a push to get it done sooner lol.
Good deal. Get it done, it makes a huge difference.
Truck looks amazing Alex. Youre tempting me into buying some TBSS reps
Thanks dude. Loved the rims the first time I saw them. New that's what I wanted to go with. -
Digger that all looks mighty tasty! I will have to keep a look out for those specific ribs. I normally buy st. Louis ribs when I do pork ribs.
I am currently using a weber smokey mountain 22.5 inch. I have no complaints at all. Very easy to control and maintain Temps. I also have a 22 inch weber kettle. I use that to smoke steaks or burgers or if i just want to use charcoal. I still have a gas grill for faster grilling. Sometimes with 5 kids i don't get thr chance to take my time on the charcoal.
Thanks for your post. Again everything looks so good. Gonna have to try those stuffed burgers for sure!

Figured I'd try something other than talking about our trucks on here and see how it goes... I've been into smoking food for maybe a year and a half now (thanks a lot to Downeast Johnny). I have smoked things such as pork butts, chuck roast, cheese, fatties etc... I finally was able to find some really meaty beef ribs a couple of weeks ago and decided it was time to smoke them. Smoked them this past Sunday using the 3-2-1 method. For those not familiar with this, it is 3 hours straight on the smoker, 2 hours wrapped in foil and the last hour directly on the smoker again. It was a simple rub that I used... Salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Well here are some pics of how it turned out. By the way they were fantastic!
Be liberal with the seasoning. This is a lot of meat and hard to over season.
This is after the first 3 hours on the smoker. Getting ready for wrapping.
I poured a beer in to keep the meat moist before I wrapped em.
Removed from smoker after 2 hours of being wrapped. Then placed on smoker for 1 more hour.
Ribs all cut up.
And money shot. Nice smoke ring and super moist!
Plated up. Those are some home made baked beans as well.
Family approved. Hope you all enjoyed this. and hope to see some more peoples great smokes. -
Do u know how much prep work it took to fit if any?
John said it did take a good bit of prep work. But that could be from a lot of rust on the truck. He said the roll pan itself was very well made.
Do you have the stock rear bumper for sale?
Kurt
No I don't. It was pretty beat to crap!
It looks soooooo good. What was the total drop? Sry if you already said it, I didn't see it. I want to shave my tailgate so bad.. It looks so clean with the roll pan.. I seriously need to get off my ass n buy one of his roll pans..
The kit John installed was a 3.4/4.5" kit. Though I am not 100 % sure on just exactly how much he lowered it. I agree dude, jump on that roll pan and shave that gate! You won't regret it.
Thanks for the kind words everyone else! I do love the new look for sure.

Here are some pics of the roll pan installed. Again dkkustoms produced a really good quality product and i would recommend getting one if ur on the fence.

Your truck detailed up real nice Alex.
:thumbsup: How much time did you spend on her? "big brake" mod is really going to add to the look. (And braking performance).Your right about it being cool to find another smoker on the site. The more the merrier.
Looking forward to hearing about your beef rib smoke. They looked good in the raw. I'm sure they will be killer. It's been too long since I smoked beef ribs..
the truck did come out really good. I did use Adam's products. I started with the basic wash then clayed it. Washed it again and threw some of Adam's americana wax on it. Then finished it off with some brilliant glaze. I also used Adam's new tire shine for the tires and undercarriage spray for the wheel wells. Probably took about 5-6 hours total. I didnt touch the insife either. Cant wait to do the big braks, but thats on hold for a while after dropping a lot of money on this stuff -
Do u know how much prep work it took to fit if any?
Not sure. I'll ask John and get back to u.
Looks good. And is that a 305 tire? Any rubbing with that drop?
It's a 285 45 r22. No rubbing after we adjusted the fronts height a little bit. Rides better than stock now imo.
Your truck gets better looking every week RB, (I mean, Alex).
Doing any smoking this weekend? I got the stuff for "little heart attacks" yesterday. Gonna smoke them up tomorrow.
Thanks brother. I'm loving it for sure! I am gonna smoke some beef ribs tmrw. I'll shoot u some pics of them for sure. Good to see we got another smoker here! -
Thanks guys. Just saw the post about the 50 bucks too. Didn't realize that he was doing that. U can see the lines from the roll pan still. It is not molded into the other pieces. Here's a closer pic of it. At least this is what i think ur talking about
-
I just posted a new thread with the roll pan installed.
-
Sup guys? Finally got around to having the roll pan installed and painted. This was from the most recent group buy from dkkustoms. He produced a really great product. As for the install it was all done by John (kelley performance). Can't thank him enough for the outstanding work he always does. He also installed the drop and shaved the tailgate! Enough rambling, on to the pics.

Great looking rims... Though I am a little biased!

Some one is making them right now selling em for 550 (for the first 10) then it'll go up to 600. That price is shipped.
What's in your hand.
