I've been a big fan of smokin bros grills since meeting Ryan at the American Royal a few years back. They are super high quality, and Billy's controller puts them over the top.

About a year ago, my buddy's wife asked me to pick out a surprise for her husband. I wanted to get him something quality, but I didn't want to have to mess with shipping prices since it was someone else's money. I also didn't want to get him just an average off the shelf grill. There is a local dealer for smokin bros. So that's what I went with.

He's been thrilled from the first day. He uses it CONSTANTLY.  We broke it in about a year ago with some faux McRibs. Here it is on that first night.

They make a great pit.  I hope we have an owner out there who starts posting in this board.

FMT, are those st louis ribs w/o the bone that you used on those McRibs?

That looks sooooo good

FMT, are those st louis ribs w/o the bone that you used on those McRibs?

They were baby backs. Over cooked slightly on purpose so the bones would just pop out leaving an intact slab of boneless ribs. I think I pre-slit along the bones before cooking as well. Over sauced with open pit original. We had quite a bit of alcohol by the time they were done, but man did they hit the spot.

They look like something that a restaurant should sell.  Im no a big McRib fan but would devour what you made.

I've had mine since Nov. 2016, burnt through 300+# of pellets and almost as much meat, poultry, home cured Canadian bacon and Costco brats.  Good experiences except for one bin fire caused by an auger assembly mistake, most probably by the dealer assemble.  Attached pics of a mod that makes sense to me.  This is not hard to do and has added a major versatility factor, similar to the Kuma Grill.

Nice work Rich.

Nice to have an owner with some real world experience with the pit on the board.  Thanks for posting

I also own a Smokin Brothers  premier  24", and also a Yoder YS1500,  the Smokin Brothers premier 24" is my goto smoker, this thing is built like a tank, I can vouch for that , I live in Colorado  Springs Co.  I left it on my patio without locking the caster wheels, we had some very strong winds, it blew it off my patio onto the Sandy backyard  that I have.  When I arrived home, and saw it laying on the ground my heart sank,  I picked it up, set it back on the patio, all that was damaged was the temp probe, along with some scratches that I quickly covered with high temperature paint, bought the new temp probe, was back in business, when I purchased mine it had the older dial controller I replacedon't it recently  with the Savanah  Stoker, couldn't be happier.  Best investmentioned I made.  Been very happy with it, also very pleased with the new controller.

I lived in Colorado Springs back in 1997-1998 in the northern part of the city north of the airport.  I think it was Manston Drive.

At the AR Ryan had a shaker of his Smokin Brothers rub, tried it, bought his last one off him and have ordered at least a dozen since. It’s my go to rub for pork tenderloin, bacon candy, mix it into my rubs, etc etc

That is a great idea.  My wife likes ribs, but hates to mess with the bones.  I will try this soon.

Nothing is ever over-sauced with Open Pit BBQ Sauce
