PIX of my first ever smoke!!

[SmokerNovice]

Thanks in part to all the help I received here from you guys, my first ever attempt at smoking was a complete success! The ribs came out absolutely delicious. Did 3 racks of baby backs. Did a 2-2-1 method, using my homemade BBQ sauce. 2 hours uncovered with mustard and Famous Dave's Rib Rub. 2 hours foil tented with apple cider. 1 hour with my BBQ sauce. I did leave half a rack dry, with no sauce, and they were delicious as well. My family swore they were the best ribs they've ever had. I'm going to try to post pix. Oh, as far as the chips go, I used apple chips, and also apple cider in the water tray. I did 3 batches of chips in the first 2 hours, and 1 last batch in the final hour. Next time I may cut back 1 batch, just to see the difference. Thanks again everyone for all of the tips!

Thanks so much fellas. I have been on a lot of forums, and this has been by far the friendliest and most helpful!

BTW guys, this is about how much I was filling the chips.. is this a little too much?

I always go about that or a little less. <The bags I got have some pieces I swear are bigger then the chip loader until I break them in half>.

Thanks for that quick reply!

I have a habit of just leaving the forum open when doing my own smokes because I can't go any where..also staying up at 4 AM looking for new pictures of smokes LOL

Like for sure, Ribs look great, enjoy your new addiction!!!

 

[GaryHibbert]

First smoke and its a success. 'Fraid there's no hope for you now. This addiction is a downward spiral and as time goes on, the slope just get steeper and steeper........
Anyway. Great first smoke. And best of all, your family loved it. That's a real plus.
Congrats on a fine job well done.
