1st Time Smokin -- Baby Back Ribs
The ribs turned out awesome. Adding Jack Daniel's to the apple juice was an inspirational idea. I made way too many ribs so I would have left overs, but my neighbor's smelled the smoke and stopped by for snacks. Looks like we have a new staple to add to our diets. Thanks for all the... -
1st Time Smokin -- Baby Back Ribs
Wes, I got 'em on. The Que has been steady at 220 for an hour. I got a very light smoke going pretty steady for the last hour using Oak. While I don't have a camera that is working, I will keep you up to date. This is going to fun because of all of your support. Thanks for the advice. john -

1st Time Smokin -- Baby Back Ribs
I have grilled for 20 years. As I live in California - I grill 3-4 times per week. I just got a new grill with a smoker and I am trying to smoke Baby Back ribs tomorrow. I am trying to modify the 3-2-1 Spare Ribs recipe for Baby Backs and the current plan is for 2-1-1 with the lighter Baby... -
Virgin Smoker Attempting on Sunday
Chad, I will move over to the Pork forum. My wife gets home tomorrow and I'll try to do some pictures. I have lots to learn and I will do my best to record this info. I lived in Austin for 5 years and loved smoked meat. Its going to be a blast to try it for myself. My wife readily admits... -
Virgin Smoker Attempting on Sunday
When I open the foil pocket to look at the ribs, what am I looking for? I am assuming the meat should still be tight on the bone and still "sinewy". I am going to try to keep it below 220. I will check it closely. Any additional advice you fellas have I will follow. Tomorrow should be fun... -
Virgin Smoker Attempting on Sunday
I have two racks of B'Backs at just over 5.5 lbs. I am thinking of trying 2-1-1 instead of 3-2-1. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! -
Virgin Smoker Attempting on Sunday
I checked out the recipes -- a lot of great info. Since I have apple cider left over from my Christmas Turkey brine, I am going to try the 3-2-1 recipe with a splash of apple cider during the "2" phase. It appears to be a good "starter recipe". The grill I got was from a company I never heard... -
Virgin Smoker Attempting on Sunday
I have been the neighborhood grilling guy making Tri-tip and rotisserie Chicken for the entire block for years. I asked for a new BBQ for X-Mas and was blown away when my wife got me a 48" unit with 4 25,000 BTU units, an infrared rotisserie and oh my gosh...a built in smoker. To keep it...
