Are they 'smoke only' or do you have fire/coals under the meat too?I just put some ribs on the smoker a few minutes ago. Anyone that happens to be around Exit 22 on I-65 around 2:30 this afternoon, stop by for a late lunch.

This is a pellet smoker so the heat is indirect but fairly low smoke cooked at 225.

I got the downed tree all cut up and hauled out of the yard. I fought with my Husqvarna chainsaw the other day and finally said to heck with it and went in to the COOP and bought a Stihl. I have had issues with the Husky every time I've used it literally from the day I got it.

Which model Stihl did you get? I have 2, both the same. One I have had since about 2006 and the other about 2 years. 290 Farmboss. (I think the model # has changed recently)
Absolutely trouble free and I have abused the crap out of the older one from day 1. Always tho, use Stihl 2 cycle oil, if yours is a 2 cycle machine.
Everyone I know that uses other brands of mix oil has had problems with their Stihls. (I've also never had a bit of problems using gasoline with ethanol in them)

This one is mid sized - Model MS170. I agree about the Stihl oil It's about as good as it gets.

The ribs are ready to eat a few and the rest will be divided up into meal portions and vacuum sealed for the freezer. It doesn't take any more fuel to cook several racks so we always cook at least four rack and sometimes six. We do the same with pork shoulders and chicken. The meat looks like I put sauce on it but all that's on them is the rub.
