Dont look like it

What makes y'all think they were over done? They were nice and tender and moist.
Actually maybe a tad over done. They fell apart and didn't have much pull to them.

They appear dry + color of the meat + charring?

[Alfisti]

I think they look over charred not overdone so to speak.

everything I have ever smoked on the egg gets the bark like that, not a fan of wrapping. Maybe it was the coffee rub I used?They def weren't dry, although the pic kind of looks that way. Stupid IPhone, lol.

I think it's the rub. Same happens for me. But meat is fantastic. First time i though it was going to be horrible. But was in deed very tasty and moist. Works like searing a steak at 900 degrees before slow cooking it.

As long as it tasted good pics don't matter.

Amatures the lot of ya!

Check my custom made BBQ

[Alfisti]

My wog cousins did that, built a massive wood fire fuelled BBQ that was a solid 10 feet long. They installed truck exhausts to vent the smoke away!!

[Todd0131]

That's pretty awesome. I would cook and eat all day long.

Here's the mini version ....

so much marble you can build a counter top!

I dont have my BMW anymore but thought I would jump back on the forum to share my fathers day dinosaur ribs I smoked:

So...I was thinking on swapping out my Virtual Weber Bullet with one of those Traeger pellet jobies. Anybody have experience with these things, or should I 'steer' clear (pun intended).

I'd keep my charcoal weber for the grilling...so this is for smoking only,

[UncleWede]

When I looked, the idea that I could only use "approved Traeger pellets" steered me away.

Traegers are great for smoking.

Also check out green mountain.

I have 2 traegers, I wanted one at the cabin.

I would consider the Traeger as a 'hobby cooker' its not something that I really use much during the week, you could, its up to temp in 15 minutes or so, but where it really shines is on long lower temp cooks.

I have cooked on water smokers, and I do think you get slightly better quality out of them, but on the Traeger you are getting 90% of the quality with 10 to 20% of the effort, and it cooks much faster at the same temperature, because of the convection going on.

I have green mountain and like it.

I'm not sure if this bothers me or not. Being able to buy from so many places online, I think I'd be okay with this. Point well taken though.

Thanks for the insight...I have a charcoal Weber Performer for my every day cooking - this wouldn't be to replace that, it would be for the VWB which is getting a bit tired in its old age. I probably only smoke about 15 times a summer.

Cooked a 40 oz (2.6lbs / 1.16 kg) tomahawk steak for myself the other day. Was my father's day gift.

Was delicious! Nice and rare in the middle, just how it should be - marbling was fantastic.

[Alfisti]

Damn that looks good.
