Kinda new at smoking and was wondering how much smoke should I put to my ribs? I use chunks of applewood. Should I fill the box once,twice??????

What kind of smoker? How big a box? Do you want a strong smoke flavor or Mild?

I personaly like to have constant smoke when it comes to my ribs... i like them smokey...

You want to have the tbs going for at least 2 hrs, I recommend checking out the 3,2,1 method

It all depends on the Quer...

I agree w/ SRS, I like 'em
Smokey... I like to keep
a nice flow going on 'em
the whole time they are in
the smoker.
I use the 3-2-1 method as
stated by NG ...

Apple has a nice flavor,
so it would not hurt at all
for 2 or 3 stokes, depends
how fast your unit
goes through the Wood...

You want to keep it thin and blue (although in my MES I don't see much blue). You don't want it billowing or you may get some creosote on it.
