    2nd time smoking ribs same problems

    I often use a basket, placing the hot coals on the top of a load of unburned charcoal. The lower coals light slowly and I can do long smokes without having to add fuel. However, I have never had to use the basket for ribs.

    2nd time smoking ribs same problems

    The rub recipe looks fine to me. Did you do a "break-in" burn on your offset before putting meat in it?

    TQ is REALLY hard to find in PDX!

    I've asked a couple of Fred Meyer managers about TQ. They say they used to carry it but no more. They do carry the smoke flavor sugar cure, but I found that stuff to be horrible and threw it away!

    Vacuum Bag Selection Criteria

    Thank you for the informative post. We have struggled with our FoodSaver for years; fragile bags do not stand up to the rigors of freezer life. We will often see 50% failures within a few days, mostly in the seal. I will add that our FS is 20 years old but generally puts up about 100 bags per...

    TQ is REALLY hard to find in PDX!

    I am surprised at not finding a single source after a week of looking/calling/internet searching. I finally ordered some from Morton, but the shipping is more that two bags of TQ! I get around Portland a lot; anybody here have a source? Thanks. UK
