And a good Sunday Morning from  Deutschland! Its a great day to smoke some meat, but then again, what day isn't? I will be smoking a rack of spare ribs this morning, rubbed it down with my own pork rub. Going to be using the 3-2-1 method, coating it with butter and brown sugar when its wrapped. I am smoking these fine slabs of meat in my El Cheap-o Char Broil vertical smoker that I have modified.

Before this smoke the mods I have used are:

- Higher quality in-door thermometer

- Grill wok as fire pan

- Sandbox sand in water pan

With these mods I managed to smoke some great Q, but I noticed I was losing a lot of smoke from around the doors so I just added some of the green egg felt seal last week, this is the first smoke since. I loaded up the fire box as normal, went out to check and I was pegged out on the thermometer over 475* WHAT A DIFFERENCE! 

Currently waiting on my temps to drop down so I can throw the ribs on, here they are patiently waiting. 



More pictures to come in 3 hours or so
 
So here we are after 3 hours. I can't tell you enough how big of a difference that felt made. Usually I have to tend to my coals every hour or so to keep a steady temp of 250-300, I have not touched it until just now, temp was still at about 240 so I threw a couple coals on before putting the ribs back in wrapped in foil.
