We had the ribs and burnt ends for dinner tonight. Mrs. Smoke made corn bread to go with it. I filled my growler at the local brewery and we had a very nice dinner. I have since decided the smoke on the ribs was as about as right on as I think I can get. There was just a slight cling to the bones.
I learned something interesting. The burnt ends had more of a kick than the ribs. I figured out that by dusting them the night before with rub, the pepper really set in. The ribs were milder since I did not apply rub the night before.. Both benefited by sitting overnight. They are now much richer tasting. Next time I will go a tad lighter on the rub the night before. I love it, but others may prefer it a little milder. The smoke ring on the cubes came out very nice.
