lemon grass is pretty hard to find... gotta go to a south asian market usually.... did you add honey to the mop only or marinade too... gonna have to try this one... i usually do dry rub only but been craving a spicy sweet wet rib... that's why i looked it up... gonna fire up the smoker this weekend for this...

any other reccomendations for as sweet / spicy rib guys? i would like to try a couple while i have her going.

I did 4.5 hours in a 250F smoker. Then about 15 mins on a med hot grill to carmelize the mop. I put the honey in the mop, which thickened it a tad and made it stick better for the time on the grill. I thought I had sambal olek to use in the mop, but I guess I didn't buy a bottle, so I used sriracha.

My first pulled pork.
Huge thunderstorms made me pull it a little earlier than planned but it was awesome. A real hit with the family. Used the magic dust rub and then threw the rest into the sauce. Fresh buns and some great coleslaw rounded it out.

Thanks, kind of what I would have figured, but it looking like a cut rectangle of something that was placed there made me wonder.

New project that was given to me. I guess its one of the walmart brand side firebox smokers, but hey it was free adn ive been wanting something of this nature.

Now to start cleaning it up, doing a few mods and fixing a few rust issues its got going on.

What do you guys recommend I do with the inside? Just clean it up adn get rust out or is there a spray/paint i need to put in there?

Hit the rust with a wire brush and then cook some pork in that thang!! That is all the seasoning it needs:tu

There are high temp paints you can use on the inside, but if the metal isn't prepped properly (exceptionally clean and free of all oils and greases) they won't adhere properly, so if you go that route, you will probably be in for a bit of work unless you have a sandblaster and a case of spray brake cleaner handy.

Me, I wouldn't even worry about the inside of the firebox. For the cook chamber, I'd just clean the excess rust off by hand with a brass wire brush as not to destroy any existing coatings, then get a can of spray oil (like PAM), spray it down and start a fire in the firebox, and cook something.

As stated before, get the rust out, then spray with pam. I usually use the high temp Pam that's ment for use on a grill. On my big Lang, the few times that I've had to re-season, I have picked up a can of lard, heated the thing up a bit, and then slathered it up. Now THAT'S a party! :noon

Re: What's in your smoker?
 
Any paint you guys recommend on the outside? I got a few things I gotta fix up, the vent door on the fire box is rusted to a point of falling apart and inoperable so going to fashion together a new one. Also going to mod the exhaust tube a bit so that it holds a more smoke in the cooking chamber.
