Hello everyone!
I've been perusing the site for a while now and thought it would be proper to introduce myself... I'm Wes, as my user name indicates. I'm from Houston and this Sunday I've decide to have a post-hurricane BBQ and smoke up some spare-ribs. This will be the FIRST time I've ever smoked ribs so I think this will be an adventure, lol.
I have an ECB with a few mods to the firepan, a charcoal grate and drilled holes to increase airflow. I've smoked chickens on this setup and have pleased my guests but ribs, I think, will be a little more difficult.
I'm planning on trying a variation of the 3-2-1 method. I like my ribs tender but not necessarily "falling off the bone", so maybe 3-1.5-1?? I'll prob play it by sight and smell, lol. If anyone has experience with smoking spare-ribs in an ECB and cares to share some useful knowledge, I would definitely appreciate it.
I have gone through not even 10% of the information here and learned a TON that prob would've taken me years to figure out on my own. This forum is GREAT! Thanks!
Wes
p.s. I've done searches for "ecb" and get zilch... any ideas on that?
