What to put in the smoker this weekend?

Irving, here are a few of the photos I do have

And this is the amount of pellets it has burned in 3.5 hours (I had it full to the top and timed it)

Do the pellets provide the heat and the smoke?

Yessir.
That hopper unit is basically what you would find hanging off the side of a traeger. The pellets are fed from the hopper to the burn pot via an auger, then ignited with what is basically a glow plug (like in a diesel engine), then air is blown into the burn pot with a fan to keep it going.
Temp is monitored by the controller with a probe in the cabinet, and auger feed speed along with fan pulses to keep temp constant. (The smoke mode pulses the fan on and off to get more smoke out of the deal)

That looks pretty efficient then.

King Doops has rib roasts. I saw a 21 pounder in the cooler.

I have never done one in the smoker. As a cook I did hundreds of pounds of them in convection ovens, then put on the whites and slice them to order.

I think I may go and grab one tomorrow and try it. A three or four bone, not half a dinosaur. I have a couple of ideas that, even if I mess up, it will still be a great cut with plenty of flavor.

The 3 or 4 bone roasts were 7.97/lb. The whole roast is 5.97/lb if you "clip" the digital coupon.
Mine was 22lb, paid $132 for it.

I just cut the ribs off, and sliced the whole deal into steaks.

I put the steaks on the pellet grill until at 105 or 110 degrees US, then go after it with my weed burner torch for the sear.
