bzarcherOne of the hardest things to do during this, aside from keeping an eye now and then on the temperature, is to keep myself busy so I don't mess with it too much, so I watched the Olympics for awhile, did my due dilligence, and now I'm sharing the current in-progress pics.
Temps have been pretty consistently around right where I want them, with a little tweaking here and there, so we'll fast forward to an hour later, when I popped the lid to give them a quick spritz of the apple juice/apple cider vinegar.
And here they are at 2 hours before I foiled them and added the ABTs and a sausage roll Alex decided to make into the cooker.
And here's how she looked when I closed her back up around 6:45
One thing I noticed is that my issues with temperature fluctuating too high or too low pretty much stopped once I added the additional food, and locked steady right where I wanted it even after I added a bit more vent to make sure it wasn't going to start cooling down.
Someone said that the process of getting used to a new cooker is a lot like starting a new relationship - if that's true, she's certainly doing well at finding ways to surprise me.
1 hour to go on the ABTs (and probably the sausage, too), 1 hour in foil and then 1 hour back directly on the cooker to go for the ribs.
I smell delicious. I may never launder this shirt again.
