I'm using the Mastbuilt smoker I got for Christmas for the first time. I am cooking 2 racks of ribs. I wanted to receive pointers and ideas.
I live in NYC in Queens. The smoker instructions say to soak the wood chips. The wood chip instructions say not too. Which is the proper way? Thank you.

Welcome to the Forum and congrats on the new smoker.  Not sure on soaking or not with the chips for your smoker.  Someone will jump in here.

Welcome! Soaking does nothing to improve smoke, just throw them in dry and let them do their thing. Then post pics of the ribs for all to enjoy [emoji]128522[/emoji]
