    My first attempt with the MasterBuilt XL - Baby Back Ribs

    The finished product: A few things for next time: 1) More time in the smoker; wife likes them more "fall off the bone" than these were.  Not a problem, I'll increase the smoke to 3 hours next time.   2) Might want to remove the back loin (I think that's what it is called); the meat...

    My first attempt with the MasterBuilt XL - Baby Back Ribs

    Masterbuild XL Mods - Post your mods here!

    I did a similar thing to mine, pounding the metal on the top of the tray down over the vent holes, then placing a layer of aluminum foil in the pan to hold my wood.  I don't close it at the top (yet), but I may at some point.  I noticed when I seasoned the smoker, the wood caught fire with those...

    My first attempt with the MasterBuilt XL - Baby Back Ribs

    1 hour in: Spritzed (gosh that sure doesn't sound manly....lol) the ribs with apple juice.  Added 2 chunks of wood to the pan, as the smoke was almost invisible.  Here is a question for ya'all: should I have left it?  In the pic above, you can see the wood chunks (this was taken before I...

    My first attempt with the MasterBuilt XL - Baby Back Ribs

    Thin Blue Smoke!  15 mins after I fired her up, on my first try!   My plan is to smoke them for 2 hours, then foil them for 2 hours, then remove from the foil, sauce, and finish for another hour, all trying to stay around 225.  I went out to check them in the first 20 mins, and teh temp had...
