Its hard to overwhelm pulled pork with smoke since there isnt a lot of smokey, barky exterior after you pull it and mix it together. I personally go heavy on the smoke with PP so you get the flavor.
Ribs are thin, so you can definitely over smoke those. What type of wood pellets did you use...
Looks great steve! What did you think of the flavor. Mesquite is a powerful wood. Usually for poultry the fruit woods give the best flavor without overpowering. I like apple and cherry mixed, but I may throw in some pecan. In the end though it is all personal preference, so if you liked the...
Nothing wrong with olive oil! If you read meathead from amazingribs, who is a food scientist and really knows his stuff, he recommends always throwing in some oil. It wont penetrate the meat, but it coats and helps the malliard reaction, which is what gives the beef that beautiful browned...

I agree with the above. The standard mod that many of us do on cheap offsets (although your rig is obviously NOT one of those) where you attach a piece of the flexible dryer vent hose to bring the exhaust down to grate level and secure to the inside is the lid would prob do the trick...and a...
Thanks for the advice RC4U. I agree...a good business plan and working hard are they keys. I have some homework to do before I can make a realistic business plan and since the only comparable businesses around are ice cream stands the market is a lot different. That's a blessing and a curse. No...

You inspired me. I think Im going to do some chicken this weekend, but I am going to throw one of these on now too. Busy day at work so had to have an early lunch. Im starving and that Q-view made me drool! Points for sure.
Those are actually short ribs. With the back ribs the bones are in the middle of the meat, not on the top like that pic. Doesn't really matter though. The 3-2-1 will be great like dirtsailor suggested.
Awesome mods and great looking ribs! I always cook my brisket cap up. Gravity baby...let that fat baste the brisket, but Im not sure it matters. Cook 2 at the same time and do a taste test. Id be willing to bet you wont see a difference.
Awesome! I have to smoke up a bunch of butts...and maybe some briskest for my oldest's graduation party in 2 weekends. I will be cutting the butts in half. Points for you!
