    2-2-1 Variations

    Depending on how meaty the back ribs are... I usually do 2.5 hours or more in the smoke. Then into a large foil pan, bone side down. The pan needs to be long enough to hold the ribs with room to spare. I found mine at Super bowl time when they got snack food stuff galore in the stores. Then I...

    What do you do with all that ash??

    Ash and water form lye, a very alkaline caustic stuff for sure. On the opposite end of the pH scale from acid but still bad for soil in large quantities. Wood ash is a great source of potassium but should be used sparingly...

    ribs possibly oversmoked

    Dont be afraid of mesquite. But save it for beef. For pork you should go for pecan and if you cant find that then a blend of hickory/apple will work. However I prefer mulberry to apple. Get a good thermo at grate level and keep trying. Very few of had our first smokes turn out the way we...

    loss of a good man

    Terry was a good man that was never afraid to share his faith. I looked up to him even though I never met him. Most didnt know he was sick... cause he didnt complain to anyone about it. A very special man indeed...

    what should i cook for my first smoke?

    My opinion...save the mesquite for beef and get something milder for the birds. That said...start out with a chuck roast. Hard to screw up a chuck. Mesquite with chuck is good stuff.

    i just cut some mulberry trees.

    More air will dry them faster. Get them out of the bins and out of the garage. The sun and the wind will do the trick but dont rush it. Like Dan said, 6 months...no less.

    Pulled Pork Question

    I would remove most of the external fat. It will keep the smoke and rub from the part of the meat that you plan to eat. And there is still plenty of fat inside to keep the meat juicy.

    Rain
