A couple of nice racks - can't wait for lunch

Don't know how much longer the old NBBD is going to hang in there, but she can still be loaded up at bedtime and deliver like a champ when the alarm clock goes off in the morning.

I've never done ribs overnight. I'm stuck on the 3-2-1 method.
Nice Jeep  ;)

If you can get your pit tuned - it is the way to go.  This old NBBD was basically new when I found it a decade ago.  I had the firebox welded on and I had Horizon Smokers make a charcoal basket, a heat dissipation plate and the chimney that is welded on the right side.  Added a couple American made Tell-Tru thermometers and it will hold steady at 215-240 degrees for four to six hours depending on how strong the wind is and how much I have to open the air intake.  Wind seems to have more effect than cold on burn rate needed to keep temps where they need to be.  I gave up on welding blankets a while back and just fight it out now, but am thinking about building a three sided enclosure or maybe just a portable screen to keep the wind off. 

I sure wish that New Braunfels  had not sold out - the Black Diamond was the very best of the ECOS (El-Cheapo Offset Smokers).  It was made of heavy enough gauge steel to make it a good performer, but it is still much more portable than a Horizon or Klose pit. 

I am not a fan of pellet grills & smokers.
