    First try at Ribs - Qview

    This was my first try at ribs and my second time to smoke....I thought they had an awesome taste...much better than most restaurants....my wife even loved them and she's not big on BBQ....and the inlaws loved them too! I didn't do the 3-2-1 method....I didn't want them falling off the bone...

    On your snack sticks, did you tie the ends of the casings or just leave them open?  If open, will the sausage not leak out? Also, I noticed in the Rytek book that he says to not have sausages touching each other to make sure they completely get the smoke....on yours, you have then hanging over...
