Cooking some Baby Back RIBS on my Old Country Pecos Smoker! I also show my mods and talk about how they are performing. Music Credit goes to MK2 - thanks!
Finally decided to take out the tuning plates in my old country pecos, going back to the basics of letting the smoker cook the way it was intended. Reason being is, I noticed that I wasn't tasting the full flavor of wood smoke because of the tuning plates, I was cooking with more of radiant heat from the plates. Now I will use them for larger cooking space for chicken 👍🏽but I also have a top rack in my pecos also 💯
Hey, Eric good job smoking those Ribs they looked great, I also have a Pecos and love it.They looked like they were cooked to perfection. Keep up the great videos. GOD BLESS YOU MAN.
Thank you, my honest opinion, this is the best smoker fir the money! It’s really holding up well, I always try to spray cooking oil on it before every cook to keep the rust down. You really can’t go wrong with the Pecos!
I’m going to do a review soon showing just that! Stay tuned! But in short, no real issues other than surface rust that just needs a little touch up. Thanks for watching!
Her eric I'm getting ready for a cook on Friday on my pecos ,what are your gap measurement for how your tuning plates are set and how many tuning plates do you have inside your cooking chamber? This information will be greatly appreciated 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The gap goes from 0 and +1/4” at each plate from there. So 0” then 1/4” then 1/2” and so on. I think I have 5 or 6 plates. I have another video on all of my mods and I talk in detail about it. I post a link.
@@EricsBBQAndMORE sorry eric , I never been the best at measurements 😔so do you mean 1/4 after the first zero gapped plate ,then 1/2 after the second plate ? What would be the next measurements for the remaining plates ? Thanks again 👍🏽
Philip Vaughan good question, I do remove the membrane, I think on these, the membrane had already been removed or I didn’t film removing it. But yes, I always remove it. Thanks for watching!
Ok, I had to watch it again and at the 2 min mark I start to remove the membrane and for some reason I stopped...maybe the ribs came prepped, not sure.
get a small axe or hatchet at Home Depot and cut your pieces of wood into smaller pieces so you get a cleaner fire. also maybe some fire proof gloves so you can play with the fire with your hands and position the wood perfectly.
Great vid. I'm curious, you said you were going to do a vid on some more mods but I haven't seen them yet. I was hoping to see you mount the valve on the drain hole and what kind of problems you may have run into. I'm taking a break from gardening but will be placing my order for my Pecos in a few minutes. I think it should arrive my birthday week. Really looking forward to it. Keep up the good work.
Victor Benner thank you! I have all the parts, I plan to install it this weekend...video soon! Did you look at your location Craigslist, or Facebook marketplace for a used one? You can get some great deals!
@@EricsBBQAndMORE ,no,but I did place my order today for one from academy, plus a few other things. It's supposed to show up 1st week of May so maybe I'll get to use it on my b-day. Would like to do mods before I start the seasoning process. Looking forward to seeing your mods,latter.
Eric Hill I’ve never tried lump, I only use charcoal to get things started and give me a good base of hot coals, then it’s all wood. I used to buy my wood in bags from Academy. I found a truckload of cherry for $60 on Facebook marketplace and I’ve been using that for the last year. Thanks for watching!
It’s bolted in, easy to do, check out my last mods video I cover measurements and such on it...it’s a great addition for cooking lots of ribs and other stuff...thanks for watching!
Great video Eric. I'm loving this Pecos, did 6 ribeyes on it last night. Ribs looked great, heard a little clash of clans in the background. I've on done ribs on my PBC and Bronco, I'll have to run some racks of the Pecos soon.
Please subscribe and turn on notifications, I’m going to do a follow up video to my Mods video in the next few weeks! I’ll make sure to cover how to the shelf...it’s sooo handy! Thanks for watching!
Derek Manning something like these www.amazon.com/AYL-Silicone-Cooking-Gloves-Potholders/dp/B01ETWDHIG/ref=sr_1_13?crid=3DQAEHUOPD1Y4&dchild=1&keywords=bbq+gloves+heat+resistant+cooking&qid=1591589553&sprefix=BBQ+gloves%2Caps%2C165&sr=8-13. I love them for spreading pork as well. Thanks for watching!
This ain't a diss brother but those looked over cooked. After eating a rib if that bone is white that means it was over cooked. But they looked so good...got my mouth watering. Always good videos. What's your opinion on your finished product?
Henry Lowery you are correct, technically they are overcooked, but that’s how I like um 😁. I like a clean bite but don’t mind if some have the meat falling off the bone. I’ve also found that most people like them a little overdone. But I get what you are saying. Thanks for watching!
Eric, where is your lake house? i am originally from Louisville. Live in STL. Love your vidoes. Trying to decide between the pecos and brazos by old country. Currently using a Large Big Green Egg. Looking for a better wood smoke flavor with the offset.
Tyler thanks for watching. We are on Nolin Lake. If you can afford the Brozos get it! I found a managers special on the Pecos for $200, it just needed a paint job. You will be happy with either one, they are well built and have great sealed welds allowing you to do the water mod I show in another video. Best of luck and Merry Christmas!
Hi Tyler, if you are still looking for a grill/smoker, check out my listing on Ebay....www.ebay.com/itm/143597027913 also, since your here in St louis as well, i would go $950, also check out the builder from whom i purchased www.mattsbbqpits.com/backyard-grilling-pits.html
Frank Rodriguez lol, thanks, that’s my wife...I keep telling her if she’d be in my videos I’d get more views...she’s not going for that! Thanks for watching!
