Getting a feel for the Orion as I type. I did some sausage and after 20 minutes they were done and wicked smokey, in fact too smokey. I used Hickory chips. Then again I wasn't happy with my batch of sausage to begin with. I should have incorporated far more fat into the blend.

I've got a bird going now, will see how it goes.

OK, so I busted mine out today. Cooked some pork ribs that I picked up at BJs. I put a basic dry rub on them last night. Didn't have any wood chips for smoking, but i did put some beer in the drip pan. They came out awesome and didn't last long. Forgot to take pictures of the process, so here's the final result:

NOOOIIIIICE:beer:

I like my ribs a bit saucy, so I either throw them on the grill with some bbq sauce on or just slap some bbq sauce on and wrap in foil for 5-10 mins.

So, handles on the drip pan....who has used a set of pliers to crimp them on better? If you breath wrong the handles come unattached, which I was lucky enough to experience tonight causing three hours of nasty beer, smoke, grease slop to spill all over the spent hickory chips.

that'll get fixed

Good operational feedback. I will have to inspect mine closely for any similar problem.

Excellent ..tomorrow when I get home from work I am putting mine together. Maybe you should start a Orion tip thread on cooking and maintenance. I think we need a subforum for BBQ and grilling topics.

Where did you get yours?
