Orion Cooker

I have some Beef Country ribs marinating for a cook today or tomorrow...

How were the country (called western style here) style ribs? That's one of my favorites out of the Orion.

Excellent, I only hope the beef versions live up to the bar they set... (less fat)

Getting ready to smoke a turkey tomorrow afternoon, a little nervous. I don't have an injector, does anyone know if it makes that big of difference? If so I will buy one. Please advise and thanks for the welcome!

I know I am very late in answering this, but I have cooked 12+ turkeys in the orion now. You do not have to inject at all, just rub with Olive Oil and put your favorite rub on the side. However, my favorite method is to brine the Turkey overnight and cook the next day. If you are still interested in the Brine recipe I will post it here.

This will be the O's first weekend off in the last month for me. I am using the week off for cleaning. A tip from the Orion Site:


Spray the whole cooker with Easy off oven cleaner and let sit over night. Take the O to the car wash and use the high pressure hose to blast off the grime...

I always rinse the O when I get home as some of the car washes used water that is being reused.

Not a bad idea, mine is black from cooking... I need to prep for a cook but don't know what I want to cook...
