Today is a rare day in Florida. The weather is a breezy 58 degrees and the sun has no clouds to compete with in the sky. Humidity is zero. That equals the perfect day to smoke, IMO.
Jumped up at 8am to run to my local Publix for some pork ribs. To make the day better, they were on sale $1.99/lb. Grabbed two slabs.
Used a basic salt and pepper rub this second time (Jeff's rib rub recipe was the used for the inaugural smoke) and will douse them in some bbq sauce before chowin' down.
This second smoke should go smoother than the first. I've got a damper on the top of my ECB and left it open the whole time and had trouble maintaining the lower temp. Realized I had to keep the damper closed to allow the temp to stay low, and ultimate smoking takes place! Also soaked some hickory chunks for a few days so they'll not burn up with the charcoal, and will last the entire smoke.
Stay tuned for pics of the final product!
