    Baby Back Basics?

    Are they baby backs or pork ribs?  I'm finding that most people that do baby backs use the 2-2-1 method - which I'm gonna try.  Earlier in this post Smokin' Al mentioned finishing them off in the grill as he added the sauce, which again, I'm gonna try this week.  Are you saucin' them in the...

    Baby Back Basics?

    I think I'm gonna blend Al's foil technique (slabs of ribs in Guiness - mmmmm!) with Ale's spritz (a little sweetness from the Capt & Coke!)  Both sound too good to pass up! I have taken the ECourse.  I liked it so much I passed it on over to my father in law who is just getting brave enough to...

    Baby Back Basics?

    Hey All, I had a tremendous amount of help from the SMF with my brisket awhile back so I thought I'd go back to the "pool" and throw out a line for some help on baby backs. Looking for a recipe for a spritz.  I know I can keep it simple with an apple juice but does someone have something...

    New to the 'Que! - RECENTLY ADDED Q VIEW

    Hey, after it was all said and done, the 15 pounds of brisket turned out pretty daggone good!!!  It was a bit drier than I wanted but that's because I had a hard time getting the heat down.  She was sitting at 250, and sometimes rose up to 275, for more than I would have liked.  Ended up...

    Can't Lower the Heat! Help! - UPDATED WITH Q VIEW

    So to help control heat (my smoker has a tendency to sky rocket!) limit fuel and keep vents closed or barely open.  Anything else I'm missing?

    Can't Lower the Heat! Help! - UPDATED WITH Q VIEW

    AleLover - I ended up closing the exhaust chimney during the process.  Why is that bad - and what does it do?
