    smoked at low temps?

    Question hopefully someone can answer. How low of temperatures can you safety smoke ribs at?... I was thinking of smoking baby backs at a temperature of 160 degrees for 3-4 hours then bumping up to 190 for 4-5 hours... Has anyone ever done it or would it be safe?

With my green mountain I've...
