Hey everyone, this forum looks great. I am getting ready to try smoking for the first time today, and I have a couple questions.
My brother in law gave me a Brinkman charcoal water smoker, he only used once or twice and really couldn't give me any advice on how to use it.
So I got me a little chicken which I brined and some spare ribs I did a dry rub on. With the ribs I didn't remove the the membrane (sems to be a typical newbie mistake) I looked at the top of the ribs didn't see any membrane so I figured it was already removed. I didn't think to flip it over and check the undersiide.
Here's what I need to know:
Should I put the ribs or the chicken on the top rack?
Should I try and remove the membrane even though I already put the rub on? ( I really don't want to try this seems like it woud be a real pain)
Should I put them both in the smoker at the same time?
Thanks
Dan
