    Briquettes vs. Lump

    LOL, I guess I meant an overpowering wood flavor. Seems with briquettes I tasted the hickory/apple/pecan/mesquite/etc flavor better.

    Where to buy an offset wood/charcoal firebox???

    I won a Brinkman pitmaster smoker at a golf outing but it doesn't have the side firebox? i know I can add one but just have had any luck finding just the firebox. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great! THX

    Briquettes vs. Lump

The lump seemed to give the meat a stronger charcoal flavor and overpowerd the wood flavor. Anyone esle see it the same way? You can definitely smell the difference between the two when...

    How much and what kind of wood chunks.......

    for shoulder and spares? I have a bag of hickory and apple chunks. I was thinking of using both to get a different flavor. My last smoke I used pecan chunks and I think I overdid the smoke flavor. I probably used 7-8 chunks throughout the smoke. My bro in law, wife and niece liked the stronger...

    Rib temps, do you actually check the temp of ribs?

    I've been doing some reading today and some say they remove their ribs at around 165-175. I have never checked the temp of the ribs I've smoked. I wait until the meat pulls back and they bend. Do any of you actual use a probe to check temp for ribs?

    Spare ribs > Babyback ribs for smoking.....

    Yes baby backs are def less fatty but as others sad you get more for your money with spares and can use the trimming for a bunch of different meals/recipes. The grocery store near my house has fresh spares for $6.99/rack. Might have to pick some up for the weekend.

    Spare ribs > Babyback ribs for smoking.....

    I've cooked both and have had much better reults with the spare ribs. More juicy and tender, fall off the bone. Babybacks seem tougher and less tender.

    Weber Smokey Mountain or UDS????

    Looking to get a nice setup for home, the Brinkmann's aren't cutting it. Looking at a 22.5" WSM or a UDS which I would need to spend time, effort and money to construct. Which would you pick and why?

    What is on the menu for Memorial Day Smoke????

    I have never brined any of my butts, just rubbed with mustard the night before. I assume you are going to shred on Saturday and put in a tinfoil pan? If so I would say you can just reheat in oven on a low temp.
