    Hurricane Sandy Ribs

    Well, this isn't heavy on the Q view.  I had to deal with the outer bands of the hurricane yesterday and do the ribs up.  We had a little get together with the neighbors and I had promised ribs, so hurricane or not...they got 'em!! I had to move the smoker around a bit to keep the swirling...

    Baby-back ribs smoking help

    I use olive oil instead of mustard.  The spices in rubs break down easier in lipids.  Makes a nice coating.

    UGGG! First try was a disaster!

    First ribs, a bit dry and tough

    I am unfamiliar with your smoker, I use a horizontal. I have whipped up some fine BBs using the 221 method on the old girl!  All the advice here is dead on. I use a waterpan.
