Well we did baby back ribs for the first smoke using the 2-2-1 method and they were good tasting. I used a light BBQ rub on them and then the last hour put Masque sauce on them. I used Masque chips for the smoke. Here are some pictures forgot to take a picture before I put the sauce on.

Finished product. We enjoyed them very much would most likely leave off the sauce next time to much masque but the taste was good and the wife liked them.

Any advise is welcome.

When the ribs come out that nice maybe you should serve them "dry" with a variety of sauces on the side.

I agree.  Mesquite can be heavy.  I usually reserve it for beef.  Even then I will mix it with something milder like maple.  Hickory is my go-to for most meats.

I don't like the Mesquite or even Hickory flavored sauces.  In fact, I hate liquid smoke, which they all contain.

Even worse.  I like my ribs dry. But my other half likes them wet.  So I split the rack.  She gets what she always thought was BBQ.  I get what I think is real BBQ. 

  Saves me the 

!

Good luck and good smoking.

Linquica  I think on the next batch I will try that. Any good sauce receipes? I am always open to new receipes and ways of doing thing. I think I am hooked on Smoken, I had a lot of fun and learned a lot but have a lot to learn yet.

Venture I think I will try you idea and mix the wood, although my wife loves the heavy Mesquite as I do but if we have others over it might be a good idea to mix the wood. How much Maple or hickory do you mix, 50 50 or less?

I have a La Caja China and will be doing a pig roast in June. I tried a butt roast the other night on the BBQ with the seasoning I want to try on the pig and it came out great. If anyone has done a pig please let me know what rub you used. I injected MOJO the the butt roast and rubed it with a pork rub my wife had picked up. It truned out great. I am still looking for that to die for rub and injection.

R V Camp Cook, That's the million dollar question.  Type " best BBQ sauce" in the search bar at the top of the page and you will have enough answers to fill a life time.

Here on the west coast we tend to prefer the sweeter sauces. My faves are "Rasta Joe's" and "Back forty BBQ"  For off the shelf ones I go with "Fireman's #1  or #2 with a 1/4 cup of apricot jam added. Mid  West they tend to be Kansas City style. and on the East coast ( thank God that we are separated by a couple of mountain ranges)  they like vinegar or mustard based sauces.

 Of course this is a broad generality and I will probably catch some heat for It.......        IMHO
