    Brining ribs

    Does anyone here brine their ribs before cooking? I ate at the local country club restaurant last evening and they had smoked ribs as a featured special.

    smoke generator cleanup....

    When using a smoke generator, like a Big Kahuna, what is the best method for removing the creasote build-up in the unit itself? I noticed that the use of wood pellets causes considerably more build-up than using chips or chunks. Witness the puddle on my driveway

    foiling question

    When doing multiple racks of ribs do you foil them seperately or can they be foiled together? Also if foiled together, can they be put into an aluminum turkey pan and covered with foil to serve the same purpose?

    Why is it that some of the posts can be viewed in the window without moving the window right to left and others have to be moved? Is it my computer or is it the posters issue?
