The chicken should've come out an hour earlier. The ribs were great except the edges were a bit burnt and dry, I did the 2 2 1method and managed to keep the needle in the middle of 'ideal' for the whole smoke.... First attempt: reasonably happy, I put a lot of oak chips on and prob won't put as many on next time.

Thanks for all the tips guys, great forum.

Looks good to me Summers.

One of the next things you will want to "invest" (thats what I tell the wife) in is a good thermometer.

The one on your smoker that has the "ideal" range is liable to be way off. Mine read about 50 degrees

cooler than actual temp.
