Wahiawa Hi
Well First off I have to say, drilling holes in the bottom of the charcoal pan and putting a grate inside really helps. Cant wait to lower the pan! Ok heres the goods, I got some thick spare ribs and smothered them in that Memphis rub I used for the chicken earlier and let them sit in the fridge for 2 hours.

Basted them with Kraft Honey BBQ sauce with an hour left then again with a half hour left.

Ribs look good :drool
The brinkman smoke n grill not bad little smoker.
Did u put the legs on outside of it ?
mine sat for 3 years because i couldn't get IT to work right .
Then i found SMF , found out how to do all the mod. to it.
Work great ever since. Just did some cold smoking in it
This last weekend using the AMNPS.
 
Nice ribs.

I see Brinkmann has a Traeger knockoff at homepeepot.
 
Thanks all! No I havent switched the legs yet. Thats the next thing on my to do list for it though.
 
Well trying the ribs again making them the same way except this time I had dark brown sugar for the dry rub and I also am gonna try the 3-2-1 method. Should be pretty good. Dunno though its the first time I have used the smoker since the mods so we will see. So far its been pretty easy to keep the temp right around 250.  I cant wait to get my new thermometer though. Ill post pics when I am done. about 4 more hours to go! 
 
Ok here they are, have been in the fridge for 2 hours with the dry rub on them

lol hopefully. Still have 2 and a half long hours to go. Wish they were ready now I am starved!
 
ok sorry for the lateness but they got done pretty late last night. 9 O'clock to be exact! So here they are 5 hours into the smoke and ready to be basted! The pic is pretty dark cause it was 8 PM when I took it.

And here they are 6 hours after being started. Great ribs, the meat just fell off the bone. I will be cooking ribs using the 3-2-1 method from here on out. Thanks guys!
 
WOW!!!  Do Those lok great.  Going to do some beef short ribs and pork ribs this weekend.  I found a store that sells prime meat can hardly wait to try it.
 
Hey guys!   I have a Brinkman and am a wonderful cook, but a bit of a newbie on the whole smoking thing.   Got some ribs for Thanksgiving and am going to give the smoker a go - any advice on how to best cook them and how long they will take???
