    Baby Back Ribs (2nd attempt)

    They look great!! Im a newbie at the smoking thing....if I may ask, why did you go 2-1-1 vs 2-2-1(thought 2-2-1 was the standard for babybacks)...did you do 2-2-1 on a prior attempt and feel they came out too mushy during the foil phase? Im just trying to gather different experiences from...

    Wood caught fire in box...suggestions/help please..

    Thanks everyone for the replies, I truly appreciate it. The only thing I can think of is 1) some fat dripped and got on the wood...2) there was no wind and it did truly get to hot, like I mentioned I had the box full of wood. Next time I smoke, I will take note of the wind or lack there of...

    Wood caught fire in box...suggestions/help please..

    Thank you very much for the reply.....The water pan pretty much covers the full area of the top of the wood box, but maybe some of the fat did get into the wood box I will definitely lower the flame next time...like I said even if it takes a little while to get the smoker back to 230ish(approx...

    St. Louis Ribs....first time for this newbie

    Thanks for the responses!  I have a Master Forge gas smoker....I was looking to keep the temp at 200-240ish. This is my first smoker and I love it. Sometimes I find it a bit difficult to get the temp over 250 for a constant time. I agree with trying a rack wrapped and one not wrapped...all trial...
