I was a good boy in 2016 and Santa brought me a Weber Smokey Mountain 14" for Christmas! 

See unboxing here: ( http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/256681/bdskelly-weber-smokey-mountain-14-5-unboxing)

After a good 6 hour seasoning it was time to through some meat on it. Even though I've found the WSM easy to control, I decided to make something forgiving. Baby Backs!

I'm using B&B charcoal briquettes and hickory chunks.

Using the standard 2-2-1 method for smoking baby backs here at 225 - 250 degrees.

The ribs turned out GREAT.  More importantly the smoker performed flawlessly. It held the heat for the entire 5 hours needing only minor adjustments to the vents to maintain temp during the last hour or so. No charcoal was added and plenty was left in the hopper. 

Thanks!

Nice smoke Brian! Great way to break in your new smoker! The little WSM is a great smoker.

That cement pond would be an ice skating rink in my neck of the woods! Highs in the single digits the next couple days...

They smelled pretty good.  I like hickory on pork.  They blend well don't you think?
