2) Where are you buying your Ribs?
3) Where are you placing the ribs in the smoker? Top/Middle/Bottom and Right or left?

That sounds like a disaster just waiting to happen... I would hate to see all your food end up on your patio after a few beers and a quick mistake.
Is the smoker attached to the cart in any way? Could you throw a bag of water softener salt on the bottom after it's in place?
