My second time using the new smoker. I'm posting to hopefully get some of your professional opinions. My first was a rack of ribs and was eaten so fast had no time for photos. So please, tell me if this looks right. Chicken internal temp was at 172* and the ribs 169*. Thanks in advance for your comments.

IT on ribs is irrelevant. You look for a nice "bend" whe lifted and a little bone/meat seperation. Nice IT on the bird tho...
Honestly- looks like the ribs could use more time. But it's hard to tell from Michigan.In God I trust- All others pay cash...Check out the Mad Hunky and products at https://madhunkymeats.com or https://www.facebook.com/MadHunkyMeats

They do not look bad, what was your cooking process? Where you happy with the flavor/texture.. that is what makes it right.. heck I did 4 birds this weekend, but the skin was rubber butt I knew that going in... i wanted the meat juicy.. and it was... I tossed the skin... so no biggie... I cooked at 285-300....too low for good skin.. but great for juicy meat!Brian

In my opinion its hard to cook those two things at the same time in the same smoker for "optimal results.
But not to worry there is a solution.....get another smoker. One for low and slow and a kettle indirect for high and fast.
Just make sure the bird is lower than all the other product, toss the skin and pull it.
Welcome, it looks good from Chi town.Comment

Thanks for the comments. They help immensely.
Everything tasted great. The skin on the chicken was not crispy but not rubbery, kinda in between. I personally don't care for the skin anyway. The meat from the ribs didn't fall off the bone but I think if they cooked much longer the meat would have dried out. I cooked/smoked at 300* using an oven thermometer hanging from a rack and apple wood.
Really do appreciate the feedback, helps with the learning process. Thanks again. Will try this again soon.Comment
