Ribs on the smoker

[Designer]

I cooked ribs on the smoker today.

The smoker in action:

The ribs just getting warm:

The oven thermometer right at the target temperature:

The fuel for the fire. First pail is the wet wood, second is the charcoal, and the box and last pail is the dry wood.

You got me hungry with those pics, have always wanted to own a smoker myself.

Nice rig. How long do you usually smoke? I use a Maverick.

The ribs took about 3-1/2 hours. I did a Boston Butt that was done in 6 hours.

I like your thermometer!

My neighbors complained about me and my smoker

But when I did, yum yum yum. I have one of those bullet shaped smokers with two pans. The bottom one was for the charcoal and wood chips, and the one above that was for: beer, wine, water, seasoning, and whatever I could think of to toss in it. When I used liquid above the fire, it took 4 everrrrrrrrrr, but always worth the weight. Turkey, ribs, Cornish hens, whole chickens, and brisket.

Complained that you never invited them over?

What kind of rub or sauce did you use? Homemade?

I noticed that you did NOT follow the "rule of thirds" and I'm afraid that means you'll have to re-shoot this. (oh darn!)

Please send the ribs to me.

I have tried a homemade rub in the past, but now I don't put anything but kosher salt and maybe a little oil. For the ribs yesterday, I made a mixture of oil, apple juice, and apple cider vinegar to kind of wet them down once in a while. As the afternoon unfolded, I applied that juice only twice the whole time. So the small end bones were way overdone, but the middle bones were not overdone at all. Juicy meat, almost no bark, a slight bit of char on some parts, but it was good enough to suck on the bones.

Why do you wet the wood? The Maverick is nice because it has two stations. One is bluetooth so I can walk around or be away from the BBQ and still know what's going on.

Relieved to be wrong.
