First smoke on Bronco 2.0
Used full basket of lump charcoal with 3 tumbleweed starters to cook 2 beef ribs and 2 short beef ribs. Initial temps 250f and adjusted dampers to maintain 225. Took about 2-2.5 hrs to finish and was amazed as my previous set up of a hacked grill took 6 hours with a fight to maintain temps. I placed a small drip pan on the deflector which started half full and ended 1/4 full with beef juices. I think it reinforced the seasoning in the beef as everyone said they tasted more flavorful. Thanks for all the advice as I’d been lurking and garnered tips before the smoke.
