    Smokey restuarant owners; any advice to another hopeful restuarant owner.

    Do a well thought out business plan. If you get all the numbers together it may show you that it will not work. I was kicking the idea around myself a few years now. Suddenly I was terminated from my job & am now working on that business plan. Most restaurants do fail 60 to 90 percent within...

    Wood

    Cherry is about all I use. It is quite forgiving if you go to heavy on the smoke too. It is also known for producing a nice smoke ring.

    Don't like/agree with the name Charcoal Smoker...

    I start my fire using a chimney in the weber kettle & dump the lit coals in the sfb on the cg. I put a split & lump in the chimney & add more every hour or so to keep the temps where they need to be & the TBS going smooth

    Rib Rub Question

    Depends on what is in the rub. If you use a lot of "high power" ingredients use less. I use a variation of Jeff's rib rub & coat the ribs until you cant see the meat & they turn out great every time.
