A lot has changed since i first joined the forum and started sponging up all the info and tips I could. I have two new additions to my family. My second son born on the 20th of April and my second smoker, a new 18.5 WSM. My son is perfect and so is the smoker WOW!!!  I actually dared to turn my back and post a smoke in progress. Started a ring of Nature's Grilling 100% hardwood briquettes and some RO lump on top for good measure.  Ten mins later it started drizzling so I set up base camp! lol!

The  white billowy smoke ended after a half hour, the thin blue smoke started happening so it was time for the ribs to head on.

The makeshift umbrella stand did its job perfectly...

Dome temp reads 250* so that means it's actually about 235* @the top grate and 225* @ the lower grate

Some other info i left out in my previous post includes using water in a foil bottomed water pan(exterior), two fist sized chunks of apple wood with one fist sized chunk of pecan. I used the minion method adding 12 - 13 lit hardwood briquettes to a ring of unlit w/ the chunks buried.

These are my movie snacks for later. Temps have been rock solid, this WSM is worth every penny.

Next update will have pics of finished product and hopefully a nice smoke ring. Thanks for looking
 
Congrats on your new son, and smoker

The WSM is a very nice smoker and as you said, worth every penny.

Those ribs look awesome!

Can't wait to see the $$$ shot 
 
  The crust on the rib was nice but a bit dry on the thin edges since i never foiled them. Two got sauce w/ half hour left, two dry.Pics on the cutting board...

All in all...not too bad.

I think I'll be sticking to spares from here on though, better flavour and meatier, these BB's were too skinny for my appetite after smelling them for 4 or 5 hours!!

And sorry to everyone who was following last night and had to wait till this morning to see the sliced results but I appreciated all the encouragement along the way. Thanks for looking.

** also learned that a sharp knife is paramount for nice display photos!
