Hi I am Tristan I live in Leduc Alberta Canada. Im new to smoking with only around 8 smokes under my belt. Ive made some deer jerky and wanted to try more. So I took my small true north smoker one weekend and decided to try ribs at the request of my pregnant wife. I started looking up smoking ribs on the site and found the 3-2-1 rule. I figured why not only way to learn is to try.

1.


So this is after about a hour of smoking i had to change my chips and got the bright idea to take pics and put them on here for input and tips to only get better at smoking.

2.


This is after smoking it in a 50/50 mix of chips for 3.5 hours at around 200-210. i couldn't get it any hotter it was -6 outside the day i did it. I quickly wrapped the ribs in tin foil with some apple juice then took them to my bbq which i had pre heated to 260 degrees. I figured it would be the best way to continue the cooking since I couldn't get my small smoker to the temps i wanted.

This is just after i took them out of the tin foil and slowly smothered in bbq sauce

Here is a shot of them around half way done.

And last but not least the finished fall off the bone pork ribs. I served it with corn on the cob, baby garlic potatoes, caesar salad and dinner buns. Hands down the best ribs I have ever had in my life. I will only smoke ribs from now on. I thank everyone who posts on this site. The ideas and skills you guys have for smoking are amazing.
 
The ribs look Awesome! How did the wife like them?
Stick around and everything will just keep getting better and better, just watch out for the addiction to set in!
 
Oh the addiction has set in. The wife loved the ribs. I am going to try and make some more tomorrow, with a beer can chicken on the grill. It all started with my last batch of deer jerky. It was amazing, the type of dry jerky that you could slowly chew on and savor the smoke and enjoy the taste. Only thing I didnt like about that jerky was it needed more seasoning.
 
That's the fun of this addiction, trying new recipes and tweaking old ones to get them just how we want, and eating everything while we do!
 
Once it warms up I will try a chicken or build a smoker that can smoke in the dead of a alberta cold winter and maintain the heat I want the whole time.
