First smoke

[calveryc]

This morning I got my WSM smoker in from amazon and I'm going to attempt my first rack of ribs. I ran to the butcher and bought two racks of St. Louis style ribs, trimmed them and pulled the membrane. I am about to work on putting a rub together and tend to the smoker. I'll post as I go, any advice will be appreciated.

How did the smoke go?  Did you season it first?

I too am a rookie but resist the temptation to continually check.  Let the heat/smoke do it's work.  Every time you check, you lose some heat.
