    PERFECT RIBS EVERY TIME! This really works!

    I made these recently as well. I followed the recipe quite closely but smoked @ 250 F. Sorry, no Q-View, will make amends for that next time! By far the best ribs ever produced at our house, and on a gas grill no less! Can't wait to do more on the new Smoke Vault when it comes in. For those...

    PERFECT RIBS EVERY TIME! This really works!

    Fareway had BBs on sale so I picked up a few racks and plan to try this well tested method shortly. Unfortunately the racks were cut down into halves/thirds. At the price I didn't complain, but am wondering how this could affect cook time and possibly lead to dried-out ribbage. Any suggestions...

    Bought a Master Forge vertical smoker from Lowe's today

    Hi folks, new member with first post. Very cool site! I thought I would share my experience trying to buy this MF. That acronym could mean Master Forge, but at the moment I have another suggestion. The first unit I brought home had just a wee manufacturing flaw... the lip of the main cylinder...
