My first ever smoke is under way!

[SmokerNovice]

Got 3 racks of baby backs in the Masterbuilt smoker. First time ever using it. I seasoned it for 3 hours. Now I have the ribs with a mustard rub and dry rub, uncovered. Gonna do it for 2 hours. Then 2 hours tented with a little apple cider. Then last hour with my homemade bbq sauce. When it comes to wood chips I read add every 45 minutes.. When I added the first batch of chips, it was smoking pretty heavy, but it faded out after about 25 min.. Should I add more now or wait the full 45 minutes? Thanks! I'll post pix later.

Sorry you didn’t get a response before now. How did the ribs turn out?

Best thing you can do is get an AMNPS for your MES. Continuous smoke and don’t have to mess with putting wood chips in the dumper every 15 minutes. Best $25 investment you can do!
