Hello!

First go around at smoking ribs last weekend I learned a lot about my Weber Kettle and intend to put that knowledge to use today with my second try at smoking some loin back ribs.

Last Saturday when cooking the ribs I used a foil pan under the meat as a drip pan and also filled it with hot water to use as a heat sink.

I was using the snake or ring of fire method with the charcoal and used way to few briquettes in the ring.  The ring was 2x1 halfway around with only 8 or so to start the fuse.

The water in the pan kept the temp stable but with me being a n00b and the small amount of charcoal in the ring even with the vents wide open it took me about 2 hours to get the temp up to 225.

It's definitely a learning process!

Here's a shot of the rubbed up ribs:


Hope to get them on in a few hours.  Thanks for lookin!
