Brother, that thing is a work of art! You are, without a doubt, one of my new heroes! Absolutely awesome! Cheers, Brian

Lately, I've been using pineapple juice mixed with a little Capt. Morgans as a spritz...In the pan just plain old water and a couple fresh cut rosemary sprigs.

Nice bones! Gotta love those baby backs!

Spectacular q-view! My keyboard is now covered in drool!!! I think I just decided what to smoke this holiday weekend!

Absolutely stunning q-view! Great job!

WOW! What a rig! I haven't been around much lately or had much time to post...but, that thing is just way too beautiful to go without commenting. I'm jealous! Cheers, Brian

Welcome to the group, Stan...from the other side of Northern Ohio!! Cheers, Brian

Nice to meet 'cha, Jason. Glad to have you here. Cheers, Brian

On your way down I75 if you need a quick fix in either Dayton or Cincinnati...I highly recommend Burbanks...a local radio celeb (Gary Burbank 700WLW) owns the joint and its pretty good stuff. I used to live in Cinci and work in Dayton and ate lunch there once a week, at least. Cheers, Brian

Welcome to the group, Jerry! We're glad to have you. I'm another Buckeye member from the Akron/Canton area. Where in Ohio do you hail from? Cheers, Brian

Silver, Red, and Sugar Maple grow in abundance around here, practically in my backyard. I know I'm not exactly next door, but if you can't find it a little closer to home, I'd be willing to take a chain saw to some of my "private stock." If I cut it into manageable sized discs or rounds for...

Mine does that sometimes, too...no big deal. HD or Lowes sells a heat proof grill pad you can put under it to protect your deck or concrete from stains. Around here, they are displayed with the rest of the grilling tools/accesories. Cheers, Brian

Welcome to the group, Spud. We're glad to have you. Where in the famous potato state do you hail from? Although its been many years ago, I spent the majority of my service time at Mt. Home AFB back in the late 80's. Cheers, Brian

I do have a half dozen slabs of baby backs and ABT's planned for this Sunday, though... Cheers, Brian

Way to go, Mike! Awesome looking grub! Unfortunatley, no Holiday weekend smoke for me...But that's only 'cause me and the GF took off to Hilton Head for a quick 4 day break...and believe you me...I ate very well...all the fresh oysters, crab legs, and shrimp I could hold!!! Cheers, Brian

Ditto what Rich said...when smoking a variety of meats, poultry always goes on the bottom!

Definitely wait until at least an hour into the smoke before spritzing to let the rub (bark) set a bit. Any earlier and you'll risk rinsing off the good stuff. OK. so you're removing the membrane...that's good. My next advice is to let the racks come to room temp before placing in the smoker...

Perhaps you already know this, but since I don't see it mentioned specifically...Did you remove the membrane from the inside curved surface of the ribs? This very important step, if overlooked, will pretty much always result in tough chewy ribs. Cheers, Brian

Hmmm...that is strange...cherry is one of my absolute favorites, I use it in almost every cook whether smoking or direct searing/grilling...Great flavor! If you got it on ebay, are you absolutely certain it was cherry? Perhaps it was still a bit green and not very well seasoned?

Awesome story! Proof that miracles do happen! As a proud father of two, this really brought an emotional tear of joy to my eye! Cheers, Brian
