My first attempt at beef short ribs this past weekend. Used Holy Cow as the rub, SmokeBoost for an hour or so and then an additional 6 to get to 197 on the larger bones. Learned a few things and looking forward to next time. Served with some Southern Mac n Cheese and baked beans.

The weekend's leftover 20 hour bone in butt (2 hour SmokeBoost then at 18 225 with Kingsford Hickory pellets- WSF never missed a beat) met some taters ( 1 1/2 hours at 350 with Killer Hogs AP, mix the guts with butter, sour cream, chives, cheese and more cheese, bacon and some more AP, put the guts back in, add pulled pork, EVEN MORE CHEESE, and bacon and Trader Joe's Carolina Gold, then BACK on the pit for another beer, ahem, 15 minutes til the cheese is melty- top it off with some more chives and viola

Couple pork shoulders. Rubbed them with mustard, then double rubbed. Used Salt Lick garlic, and Malcolm Reeds the BBQ Rub. Turned out swell. About 6 hours on SmokeFire at 300. No wrap.

I do beef ribs regularly, and they come out great. However, I have given up on the SmokeBoost feature, because (Note: on a brand-new grill, ) it has burned out 5 glow plugs so far. And all I did was turn on SmokeBoost at the start of my cook. The augur overflowed the firepot with pellets, and I had to disassemble everything, and clean out pellets all over the place. That’s it for SmokeBoost. I bought a smoke tube and it works perfectly, giving my meat a perfect smoky taste every time. I fill it with chips and pellets, light it, and relax. Note to BBQKing, since you’re a staff member, you ought to be aware of this issue.

Burnt up glow plugs is ALWAYS DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION. period. You don’t have it seated properly. I suggest a refund and different cooker. This Ferrari isn’t for everyone. Maybe get you a Prius.

PS. No one here that I’m aware of is a Weber employee. It’s a private forum.
