    I can not add much more than what has already been said. But to me the biggest accessory that i got for my smoker was a digital thermometer and i have sure done alot better on the way things come out of the smoker. Invest in a thermometer and you'll be really pleased. Bill USMC retired.

    Country style ribs?

    I like these only because there is no bones in them. Well the ones i find down here. I have smoked them till 160 and then foil and let them get up to around 190 and then take out of foil and put some sauce on them and let them carmalize and then chow down. Good eating. Bill USMC retired.
