It's been awhile since I've posted anything, but I've been reading up and lurking. The weather has finally broke here in Ohio and it's provided me some chances to practice. I'm trying not to repeat anything at first, so I can try something new and see how I do.
Alright, this was Saturday. Temperature was in the mid 70s for the most part. I suck at getting a fire started and usually spend an 30 minutes just trying to get the fire started. Once I got it going, it was burning pretty hot for the first hour and half. I kept having to squirt water on the fire or else I would have had 400-500 temperatures. Mind you, I'm working on an ECB with mods done. After the first hour and half, temperatures flattened out around 275. I kept the ribs on for 2 hours. Then, I wrapped them in foil and spritzed them with Apple Juice. I put them back on after 1:30 in the foil. Again, I had a flare up when I had to add some charcoal and wood chunks. I used mesquite because that's what I had on hand.
I missed some picture ops along the way, but I was pretty focused on the ribs to worry about photos.
