well i got my smoker put together and waited for the weekend i had about a dozen people coming over for ribs. i was going to fire her up at nine and have the meat on by ten to feed at four. well the best laid plans as it goes. i found out there was an auction that morning at a local agriculture school and wanted to go. it started at ten but i figured i could go take a peak and still be back to have the meat on by eleven. wrong. i ended up bidding on and getting a nice old craftsman garden tractor with a snow plow, snow blower, set of bog harrows and a plow for cheap money (score) problem was i didnt even get back to the house till two. so i tried to rush things in my new untried smoker. found out there was a real hot spot on one side. the meat there after two hours was burnt on one side and the other racks were going ok. any way we ended up feeding around eight that night. every one said the ribs were great but i know better. they were too dry, too burnt and the rub was too strong for what i wanted. i have a much better handle on how she works now so next time wont be what to me was a disaster. live and learn i guess. every one said they loved the ribs but i think they were just being kind.
