    BBQ Rib help/experts wanted/needed

    The Orion should do the task fine... this Cooker/Smoker works a bit different than other True Smokers. It cooks as much Convection or Radiant heat as it does with the Smoke from the wood chips. First is preparation to the Ribs... you might already be doing this... Peal off the skin type...
