New to smoking ribs....
Too cut back on the oak, would I need to keep adding charcoal as I go? How much charcoal is needed to smoke about 5 hours? Does a "rack" to hold the ribs up on its side help any or is that just used to be able to add more ribs to the smoker? would they turn out less dark that way? -
