Hello from North Texas - just got my first AR last week and had to place a small order with La Rue for magazines and a Dillo.

Like everyone else, I got a WHOLE lot more in my box than I ordered. Including some Dillo dust and a purple holiday Dillo.
The purple Dillo was immediately claimed by my wife (her favorite color, so she may become a LaRue fan too).

However the dust gave me an excuse to break out the smoker... (it doesn't take much)

Date - 1/16/2010
Temp Ambient Approx 64
Target - 2 racks spares St Loius trimmed (with trimmings put on the smoker for leftovers)
Heat - Approx 225 degrees (+/- 20) - 4 hours 10 minutes
Altitude - 640' ASL (bottom rack) approx 642' top rack
Hardware - 22" WSM with 3 chunks pecan 2 of hickory, previously proven to be capable of minute of flavor accurate

Before -

During -

4 hours 10 minutes later (they were ready at 4 hours, but the dogs needed an 'out'. 100 pound shepherds and loose BBQ don't mix well)

And ready for the table

The ribs were good... there were no survivors... (well ok a few but they wound up in Dirty Rice)


PS - I'll be ordering again - and probably wait-listing an OBR 5.56... sigh... BRD + BBQ all in one post.

i have two bottles of the dust just waiting to go on something.  I am moving back home in a couple months and my father-in-law has two smokers.  One of which is presently residing in the basement of the house we are going to live in.  I might take adverse posession of his smoker.
