    Cheated and the Ribs were still great !

    I would have opted for braising them in the oven. Rub em up & lay on a sheet pan and pour a little beer over them.

    Got the points covered but I was thinking more along the Red Green line. "Of course this is only temporary, unless it works." Can't wait to see the finished product!

    Smoked butts - is it just me?

    Sounds like you did everything correctly but as Rich indicated, if a bark was not present(dark crust on the outside of the meat) the smoke flavor won't be nearly as intense. Did you get any pics to post?

    IMO either one you choose I'd go with the Mobile model. Be nice to be able to tow it if needed instead of putting it on a trailer.
