so I had picked up two racks of baby back ribs ( I had failed badly with spare ribs) and wanted to give it a go on Sunday. I also picked up a 6 pound butt as they were on sale. I put on some rub the night before and vac packed them.

Got the smoker set-up around 8am and dusted the ribs and butt one more time.

I did the ribs with the 2 (on the rack)-2 (wrapped in foil)-1 (back on the rack).

Then put some sauce (12 Bones Blueberry Chipote and Famous Daves) and left them for 30 min

Looks awesome!

I love the way the meat creeps up the bones exposing the end of the bones when done. Awesome! My only complaint is the famous daves sauce. Im not a fan of famous daves.

Please enlighten me on how you failed badly with spares....

Sure.... on the spares (one time included a rack of berkshire) I would try both the 3-2-1 and 2-2-1 but they would be dried out.... just like cardboard. This happened about 4 times. The racks that I had smoked did not have much meat or fat on them which in my mind is the reason they were so dry. So I gave it a go on the babys and they had about twice the meat and fat. Also this time I double stacked the ribs in the foil and double wrapped the foil (thanks to a re-education from Eric at Mason Dixon BBQ Services when i picked up some bags of charcoal).
 
Hello there, I was wondering how'd u like your IQ 110? I'm looking forward to buy one. Also, what kind of adapter kit did you use, I'm also the proud owner of a PR36.

Thanks
