End Over End Ribs on the Blue Smoke Smoker with Scoop Baffle

What's the ultimate test for the evenness of temperatures in an offset smoker? Today, come with me as I smoke saint louis style ribs end over end to see how the Blue Smoke Smoker with its scoop baffle performs!

Thank you for testing a BSS. Phil’s smoker has high on my wish list, even though I haven’t seen anyone test one.

Great cook. Another question. Could you have a look at the top down method of lighting a woodfire? It's basically a woodstack with big spilits at the bottom and tiny up top. Then the smaller sticks get lit and the fire works itself all the way down. I wonder, is there an electric gravity fed that is lit from the top unlike Masterbuilt and a few others?

[@SmokeMasterD]

Interesting question. I know there's one cooker that's a bit strange that might fit that description but it will take me some time to find it again.

@@SmokeMasterD where can I get in touch with you so you know how to contact me?

The one I was thinking of was the Kbq c-60

@@SmokeMasterD I see what you mean, but you still need to add another log every once in a while compared to having a full shute of charcoal as with a MasterbuiltGF. In the mean while. I've send you a message through Instagram. Maybe we could discuss this further there.

Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. So, do you think that the scoop baffle made much of a difference compared to not using it? How far did you set the baffle away from the opening of the firebox?

[@SmokeMasterD]

I've learned that setting it back a bit further- like 3 inches - than what I originally started off with has done well. I almost never have the opportunity to fill the smoker ilup so full that the space right by the plate matters too much. Usually, I put my tallow or beans over that way. Good luck 👍

So looks like a hotspot at the front even with the blocking log?

[@SmokeMasterD]

The radiant heat has to be accounted for. Even so, I have been able to use more of the grate than I have been before.

[@rayellis1811]

How many racks can you fit on that?

[@SmokeMasterD]

Not exactly sure but maybe between 8 and 10.

Fine looking smoker!! Thanks for testing 😊👍👍

[@crazymonkey9611]

Love all these tests. So is pulled pork next?

[@SmokeMasterD]

Maybe...I was planning to do some in another couple weeks.

Just found your channel today. Some interesting reviews, but now I’m concerned after hearing your thoughts on Sweet Baby Ray’s.

[@DebianDog]

I've tried a lot of sauces and like a lot of sauces, but I'm never upset to get sweet baby Rays. it's the best out of the standard "supermarket brands" for sure.

[@SmokeMasterD]

I agree with Debian Dog. I know there are a lot of other sauces out there, though. Which ones do you recommend?

[@kylecrumpton4766]

Meat Mitch Whomp Sauce is the best of all the bottled sauces, IMO and it isn’t close.
