Baby Backs on the Akorn

[Decoy205]

First time doing baby backs on the Akorn and it they turned out great! The smoke flavor was more mild then the WSM mini but still nice. They were super tender.

Got it locked in at 275 took about 3 hours, on to the pronz:

How did you place your chunks of wood over the lump? How many fist size chunks did you use? This will determine how much or less of smoke you will get.

Did you have to Texas crutch to get that pullback?

I still have a soft spot for BB ribs, they look damn tasty!

Thanks everyone. Really enjoying using the Akorn so far. It locks into temp pretty quickly you just have to watch how long you keep it open or the coals get too much air and it shoots up. But overall cooks great.

That may be the issue as I was finishing a bag of apple and only had one big chunk and a bunch of chips.

It was a homeade simple rub I made. It's brown sugar and cayanne based the sugars mostly melt away and your left with a nice mellow heat from the cayanne. I used a little seasoned salt first before the rub. And used whatever cowboy lump left over from last time and added royal oak and apple wood for smoke.

No wrap 3 hours straight through at around 275-295 and they passed the bend test.
