BarkHound. Nice looking ribs. And good description of your wood burning method and results. I am also a stick burner and am constantly tending to my fire box. But my smoker was a hand-me-down from my father (equals FREE). So, I'm with you on the nice, cheap mods. I think it is about time...
Rookie:

Thanks nozzleman, I appreciate your compliment. Don't worry; those spots didn't slow me down one bit. They were delicious!! I just always aim for perfection. I had them in the smoker for just over 5 hours. Once they reached an IT of 140*, I pulled them off and started to plate.
