That's right - pellets.
Pit Boss Competition Blend Hardwood Pellets.
...with an added kick from a 'Pit Boss Expanding Tube Smoker'

Dry rub only - BBQ sauce is at the discretion of the consumer. Sort of like the "Don Not Remove" tag on a new mattress. I didn't wrap them - I just let them build a nice delicious crust over the 5 hours that they bathed in smoke in a 250 degree chamber.

Every so often they would get a few shots from the spray bottle of equal parts apple juice and apple cider vinegar with an occasional spritz of liquid "I Cant Believe Its Not Butter"

One rack was seasoned with a mix of 'Grill Mates' Smokehouse Maple and Brown Sugar Bourbon while the other was seasoned with a mad scientist blend of brown sugar, kosher salt, coarse black pepper, smoked paprika, turmeric, and cinnamon.

As you can see from the rack of mad-scientist ribs, there is a visible smoke ring - what you can't see is the bite-through tenderness and sweet smokey flavor. The other rack was equally tasty and enjoyable.

I served them up with some Bush's Baked Beans and homemade slaw - red cabbage, green cabbage, matchstick carrots, chopped apple, raisins, celery seed, Dukes Mayonnaise, and apple cider vinegar...

Enjoyed a few Modelo Negros throughout the day - all in all - it was a good day..

Looks great. I did a spatchcock chicken last week on my Weber kettle, turned out moist and delicious. Unfortunately did not take any pictures.

Have you tried the Bush's Grillin Beans Southern Pit BBQ? Those are my favorite canned baked beans when I don't take the time to make my own.
