    First time smoking: Question about pork spare ribs

    Never done spare ribs before.  I have a couple of questions. Can I use the same dry rub that I use on my pork butt?  Do I need a 'mop sauce'? Can I get away with using a 3-2-1 method, spraying with apple juice, and then using something like Blues Hog for the last hour?? I was going to try...

    Hey, from TX

    New member here.  No smoking experience whatsoever really.  Im pretty much charcoal and gas grill material.  Anyway, I ended up with a new smoker and figured this was the place to come for advice!  Im in TX.

    Trouble with low temps and smoke vault 18"

    I have a smoke vault 18.  It was given to me because the person didnt use it.  It's brand new in the box.  I seasoned it and all seems OK, but I was unable to maintain the temperature the manual stated for seasoning.  I am now smoking pork, and it seems no matter what I do, I cannot keep the...
