    "Too Much Smoke" --- Results!!!

    Well guys...it was a success! Thanks a ton for all the help! As many of you knew, I was seriously over-smoking my ribs. I also was using all wood, no charcoal, and it was very hit or miss. But, with yall's help, I had quite a few happy eaters. We had a cookout with about 15-20 people over...

    Too much smoke?

    I got a question about which wood to use for the charcoal fire... 2 Choices: 1. Royal Oaks Premium Charcoal Briquets 2. Cowboy Brand 100% All Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal Once I get that fire going - I'm going to sparingly add tin-foil wrapped chunks of Hickory. Thanks for the help!

    Too much smoke?

    Any recommendations for Lump Charcoal? Clearly we're not talking about regular old kingsford charcoal with all the carbon and chemicals. I have never used Lump Charcoal - actual wood charcoal - before.

    Too much smoke?

    Richtee, Thanks for the reply. I take it you are talking about one of these bad boys: I figure I will let that beast blaze until I get them hot, then pour that into my side box into a nice pile. Then throw on my tin-foil wrapped chunks as needed?

    Too much smoke?

    I'm new to the forum and am pretty excited about the potential feedback! I started smoking baby back ribs a few months ago - probably have done it about 8 times now. I have really enjoyed the process and am definitely learning as I go. My question is, how much smoke is too much? My first...
