0.9 kg / 2 lbs
10 cloves
Garlic (minced)
45 ml / 2 tbsp Seasoning
10 ml / 2 tsp Salt
10 ml / 2 tsp Pepper
Instructions:
1.
Preheat smoker, then adjust to 135°C / 275°F.

tie the rest of the roast, making an attractive presentation.
3.
Thoroughly wash the roast and pat dry with paper towel.
4.
Liberally, season the entire roast with garlic, salt, pepper, and
seasoning. Let the roast sit for 10 minutes so seasoning adheres.
5.
Place roast in smoker. Smoke for 45 to 60 minutes, until the
internal temperature has reached 51°C / 125°F. Use a meat probe
to best monitor the middle of the roast.
6.
Carefully, remove roast from smoker and cover with foil. The
meat will continue to rise by another 3°C / 5°F to a final product
of 54°C / 125°F to a perfect medium rare. Let the meat rest for 10
minutes before slicing.
SMOKED RIBS
Makes 4 - 6 Servings
Suggested Wood Chip Flavor: Hickory / Apple / Competition
Ingredients:
1.3-1.8 kg / 3-4 lbs Ribs
Meaty pork spare ribs / loin back ribs
5 ml / 1 tsp
Salt
5 ml / 1 tsp
Pepper
Instructions:
1.
Preheat smoker, then reduce to 82-107°C / 180-225°F.
2.
Take ribs out of wrapper and drain all liquid off of the ribs and
then wash in cold water.
3.
Place on cutting board and cut away any excess fat or skin from
the bottom of ribs. Turn ribs with bone side up. Prepare ribs by
peeling off the tough layer of skin (membrane) on the back side.
Season the ribs with salt and pepper, to taste.
4.
Place rib bone side down in smoker.
5.
After one hour, turn the rib over with bone side up and cook for
one hour. After 2 1/2 hours, depending on the color of the rib you
like, pour a one inch wide strip of your favorite BBQ sauce down
the length of the rib and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Place
back in smoker and check every 15 to 20 minutes to see if the rib
bones separate by using your finger to pull them apart. If they
32
pull apart with ease your ribs are done; internal temperature of
your ribs should be at 170°F.

Take out of smoker and let stand on serving platter until cool
enough to eat.
Variation: MEMPHIS-DRY METHOD
Turn smoker up to maximum temperature (204°C / 400°F). Place
