So I finally managed to pick up an Orion Cooker. I've been eyeing these for a year or two but couldn't justify the $150.00 cost when I've already got a grill and my trash can smoker which I've already posted about.
I haven't done ribs myself before and this seemed to be a good reason to do so, especially being Super Bowl Sunday.
So I went ahead and all I can say is holy crap these were outstanding. And the fact that they cook in a hour is simply unbelieveable. Everyone tried them out and loved them.
They tell you to put the lid on and trust them. You can't open the cooker until the time is up and while it seems wrong to let fiddle with them, it really does work.
I've posted several pics on my flickr page here:

Here is a before shot with a brown sugar dry rub:

A shot with everything put together and seriously going:

And finally, the aftermath. Delicious carnage!
