    First smoke ever - babyback ribs - mixed results!!

    Easter, Is this the rectangular vertical Brinkman?  I've got that same one, and used to have the same problems keeping the temps up.  The main problem is the charcoal pan -- is it solid?  It helps to drill a bunch of 1/4" or so holes in it, bottom and even sides, but the best luck I had was...

    Baby Back question - Does positioning matter?

    I used to flip 'em and rotate 'em, like a set of tires.  Upper right bone-down (I have two racks in my vertical smoker) goes to lower left, bone-up, etc.  the lower rack in my smoker sits closer to the charcoal pan, so I noticed the racks I put on it would cook faster, thus the rotation...

    "3-2-1" -- I'm a Believer!

    Thanks for all the replies, guys, and sorry for the whining.  I was just excited about finding this great site, and about how the ribs came out, and I turned into a whiny diva, lol. I too don't go for the "fall-off-the-bone" consistency:  I like a little CHEW to my ribs.  If I'm going to do...

    Smoked Pork Greetings from Florida's First Coast, by Way of the Birthplace of the Weber!

    Yep.  Grew up in Arlington Heights, IL, and used to deliver pennysaver newspapers to the old Weber-Stephen plant there on Hickory Street.  My uncle Frank had one of the first Weber kettles, and my dad used to stand in line when the warehouse would hold annual sales, and buy a bunch o' Smokey...

    Memorial Day Picnic Shoulder, Ribs, & Chicken w/ Q-view

    With a serrated knife or non-serrated?  Yours just look AMAZINGLY clean cuts, like I see in our best bbq restaurants here in N. Florida.  I've been trying to slice mine with the slab laying flat, with a good sharp (non-serrated) knife, and also with a brand-new, sharp cleaver, and I try to cut...

    Memorial Day Picnic Shoulder, Ribs, & Chicken w/ Q-view

    Nots, Great looking meat!  Especially the ribs! Q:  how do you get your rib sections cut so straight and neatly?  I've tried both good sharp knives and a cleaver, but can't get them anything other than pretty jagged.  After really babying the "presentation" of what my rib racks looked like...

    "3-2-1" -- I'm a Believer!

    Been wanting to try the "3-2-1" method for about a year now, but somehow kept fighting it, thinking that "ribs baked in foil in my oven" just was sacrilege or something, LOL.  I normally smoke (baby-backs) for about 4-6 hours, depending on how much time I have that day, and then finish 'em for...
