Not yet Adie, sadly i got home a bit late to fire it up as i had to pick it up.

But i've spoken to the butchers already and they'll have a whole rack of ribs ready & waiting for me on saturday morning.

Yesterday i got the chance to test out the Smokenator so i thought i'd share some pictures i took throughout the day.

The Smokenator can hold 60 unlit coals + wood and this is what it looks like.

Here are my ribs that i cooked + ate yesterday,

here are the ribs just gone onto the grill,

and here is the finished product.

Using the smokenator i was able to hold the temprature between 225-250 with great ease for the 6 hours i needed and the ribs came out really good. :D

Does anyone know of a UK dealer or are they only available shipped from the US?

It was a US job sadly.

The shipping wasn't that bad, but when it got stuck in customs it cost me a bit more :(

I do find it better for cooking ribs with V using indirect cooking method on the Weber because i can use the minion method with it so i spend less time playing with the vents trying to keep the temp's under control.

Cheers

Got relatives in Simi Valley California. May ask them to enquire about shipping from them as a 'gift'.

Forgive me but a bit of a novice on the terms here. What does the V in "I do find it better for cooking ribs with V using indirect cooking method on the Weber" mean?
