First Buckboard Bacon plus Boneless Ribs
Awhile back I bought 16 pounds of pork butt, which turned out to be 2 butts. I smoked one for Christmas and the other I sliced up into roughly 1 - 1 1/2" x 6" boneless country style ribs and froze. Some of these were fattier than I wanted for ribs so...
I agree with these guys: vent wide open, no water, cook too a high temp (195-205) to melt out the connective tissue and fat. The temp really isn't set in stone, it's done when its's tender like @SmokinAl said. 155 will get it done but like you experienced it won't be tender at that temp.

Hey everyone, I am looking to do a brisket for the first time. An recommendations on what type, how big, where to buy, and process would be greatly appreciated, thanks! My smoker is an E-ECB.
Fareway has chicken hindquarters for $0.39/lb 10 lb max, pork sausage for $1.99/lb 20 lb max, and 85/15 ground beef for $2.99/lb 20 lb max.
Hy-Vee has whole chickens for $0.99/lb.
Just saw these prices in today's ads for each store. Thought I would share in case anyone was interested.
That's better than what I saw at Hy-Vee, think it was $1.89 per pound. Also better than Fareway, in their 2 day sale ad for Friday and Saturday they are $1.79 per pound, limit of 2.
Thanks for the heads up!!
