Hi all

Done my first ever smoke on the frontier yesterday.
I done 8 racks of ribs coated with a little Memphis style rub and jackdaniels original no7 recipe sauce and they where amazing.
I used the 3-2-1 method but had to leave them in for an extra hour because I was struggling to get it to go over 200f. I think it might have been the briquettes I was using as I had all vents fully open. But I was very impressed that the frontier stayed steady on the heat for hours.
Sorry I didn't take any pics but I can say they are some of the best damn ribs I've ever had.

Congrats on your first smoke. If your pro q is anything like mine it should improve after a few smokes and built up a nice layer.
You'll just have to do more ribs now so we can see the pics

Cheers, anyone got any good tips for cleaning it?

Only clean the grills. Don't clean the inside of the BBQ, you want a resin to build up which will plug any small gaps in the smoker.

For cleaning the grills i normally take them off and brush them down with a screwed up piece of tin foil, this does a great job and means now need to keep on buying grill brushes.

Oh that's excellent so I don't have to actually clean it, this is great the grills I can handle but the inside was looking to be a right nightmear

Cheers guys you've made my day
