    Ribs on the smoker!

    I don't wrap and refrigerate. I rub about an hour before going on the smoker, just long enough so the rub starts to absorb a bit and the ribs look wet.

    My first attempt at ribs!

    I left them on for about 4 hours but I mixed them up a bit when I pulled the ribs to wrap them.

    My first attempt at ribs!

    Finally had the time to smoke something that took longer than a few hours so I went with one of my faves....RIBS! I also stole....I mean "borrowed" Al's bean recipe and tweaked it slightly for a side dish. I trimmed the STL ribs and prepped with mustard to give the rub something to stick to and...

    My first smoke!

    At what temp do you usually smoke your poultry to get the skin to have a clean easy bite with a bit of crisp?

    My first smoke!

    That's exactly what I did. I cranked the temp up for the last 20-30 mins which seemed to help. I may smoke at a higher temp the whole way through next time to see the difference. It wasn't really rubbery but yet not quite as crisp as I'd like it.

    My first smoke!

    I'm actually in Northern VA. I was able to keep it between 250-260 with relative ease. The outdoor temp dropped a bit that evening so I had to adjust on the fly.

    My first smoke!

    Snatched up a Masterbuilt 40" propane smoker last week and finally got around to seasoning it Friday evening. I decided to try something easy for my first smoke and just did some chicken wings, chicken tenders (for the kids), and some andouille sausage. I have to say I'm HOOKED now and don't...
