You owe it to yourself to do some ribs in there:flag:Better late than never! The de-virgination of my Orion last night!
The meat: 7.5lbs of beef shoulder roast, seasoned with some general seasoned salt, onion chips and garlic.
The Orion was loaded with some Hickory Chips. Loaded it up with a bag of Kingsford Easy light Charcoal, experienced some minor lighting difficulties due to the wind, but then a quick trip to the basement to grab the mini propane blow torch and the wind was no match for the flame!
I went with 12 minutes per pound to start

I checked the meat after 80 minutes, and while I enjoy a rare cut of beef, I felt that my in-laws might have a slight issue with a couple of the internal temp reading in the mid 80's that I found, so I gave things another 20 minutes.

Well, 20 minutes was a little too much as I was getting consistant 150 degree temps now(mental note of 13 minutes/lb made) Never the less, the beef delicious! Very tender and juicy with a real nice Hickory flavor!
Added steamed some salt potatoes, broccoli, and carrots as a side and the finished everything off with a piece of apple pie and ice cream
A great first run with the orion!
