What's up everybody! My name is James and I am in Las Vegas Nevada. I am taking my first smoking adventure tomorrow I have a brinkmann smoker. I got 7lbs of ribs and a 2.6lb tri tip. I have never done this before and I don't wanna mess it up. If anybody can give me some pointers I would much appreciate it

Welcome James.

As for the ribs, I prefer using a 3-2-1 or 2-2-1 method. I decide which based on the speed they are cooking. As a first time, go with 3-2-1 and adjust in the future to your taste.

Cook at 225-250 three hours with smoke, wrap in foil, two hours no smoke needed cause wrapped they won't take any anyway, and finish unwrapped one hour. I always add some sauce when I unwrap, and let that carmalize during the last hour.

Always comes out perfect.

The tri tip I have never done myself, so I will let others with more knowledge weigh in on that.

Again welcome, and feel free to look into the 5 day e course. Here's the link
