Hey everyone!!

Great to be here, I am new to smoking.  I only smoked meat three times.  Ribs twice and a prok loin once.  The ribs came out awesome.....So I think.  I somked them with apple wood at 225-250 for 5 hours. first two hours with the rub on and sprayed with apple juice every hour.  After 2 hours warpped in foil for another 2 hours. For the last hour, unwrapped and straight back in and sprayed with applejuice.  Not sure if that was the best way, but it is what I found on this forum 4 years ago.

Pork loin.... not so good it was tough and chewy and tasted like burnt tree!!!

Next attempt will be a pork shoulder.

Looking forward to learning a lot here, from what I can see there is a whole lot of support here and not just smack talking...  Awesome place to be.

Welcome to the site Twinzo.  Congratulations on the successful rib smoke. I pull loins off of the smoker at an Internal temp of 135*, tent them with foil and let her rest a little while.  Loin is so lean it will dry out quickly.

Best luck with your shoulder smoke.
