I finally signed up so I could say thanks for the help I've gotten from this forum just in a couple weeks. I guilted my husband into buying me a Cabela's special MES 40" for forgetting my birthday. (That was fun!)
I found this forum looking for smoked ribs and hit on this post from @noboundries https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t...this-really-works.240916/page-19#post-1790116
I gotta say, they were almost perfect, the "almost" part solely my inexperience. For one thing, I used a generic store bought pork rub that was da** disappointing. (I just ordered Jeff's rub recipe a few minutes ago.)
At one point, I started fretting about the clouds of white smoke instead of TBS so I hit the forum again. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/rookie-mistake-horrible-bitter-aftertaste.84112/
I had a good laugh, especially the SOTBWS link, then freaked out, ran out to my smoker, threw the door open for a second and watched the smoke suck out into the open air. Problem solved I hoped.
They turned out almost great and I even got excited about the little bit of smoke ring. My family humored me by listening to me educate. They humor me a lot.
And even though he forgot my birthday, my husband's a keeper. He even helped me find a cheap shelter since I was too impatient to wait for good weather and he set it up for me (with a few choice cuss words as he struggled with it of course). It worked great in the rain. So basically, I got a lot of mileage out of the forgotten birthday and he got a great pile of smoked ribs. :) Sorry but the ribs were almost gone by the time I remembered to take pics!
