I joined in last night and have a lot to learn. I posted some pics of the smoker I worked all winter on. I hope to some day be able to master it. I have tried several meats on it some excellent and some needing practice. I did enter a rib contest in 3 weeks and am getting nervous. My biggest concern is they give you 2 cases of ribs and I cant fit that many at once on my unit. I have talked to other entries and they cook at higher temps than what I have been using they cook around 300 and it takes about 3 hours, Ive been cooking at 240 and taking 5-6 hours. At that pace i can have the first batch done at 11 and the next not done until 5. Any suggestions on what to do. Looking forward to hearing your replies, feel free to comment on my smoker to. Thanks in advance, The Rookie Ribsters (team name)
