Going to be trying my luck with my first meat on my new WSM 22.5 I have 2 racks of spares I've trimmed down and 2 racks of babybacks. 82° partly cloudy.

10:45 smoker started.

Meat for the smoker.

Thin blue smoke.

Meat on the WSM. 11:30am

12:05pm 87° mostly sunny winds 9mph.

3 hours in sunny 95° doing a little rack swap.

Oh yeah. Meat isn't going on for another 15 minutes at least smoke starting to dwindle.
Did I at least get the right section to post this in?

That gulp of fresh air gave this thing more than I expected. Not even 10 minutes and the smoke has settled down again and temp almost back to 230°
 
Also wanted to mention I took the rib tips I trimmed off the spare ribs had those smoking at same time as ribs about an hour before I took the ribs off I took the tips off cut into small pieces sprinkled with rub and barbeque sauce and threw them back in the smoker for a half hour. Made wonderful sandwiches.
 
No I found I like the better bite better without wrapping and the wife doesn't prefer as long as they are smoked. That was as close to a 50/50 split I could get with apple and cherry wood.
