So how did the rest of the ribs turn out for you Wade? My pork butt came off the smoker after 8 hours.

I had a little time on my hands waiting for the meat to get done, so I harvested 1 of my rows of garlic. Here's a picture of a portion of the row

WOW looking at that pork and garlic makes a man hungry all over again.

The bigger ribs came out a little drier, I may have turned the heat up too much trying to get the chips smoking good.

I have that problem from time to time too. Just keep a bottle of BBQ sauce handy that you like. Or experiment with some apple juice and cider vinegar with a little rub added to use as a dipping sauce. That helps me deal with a drier meat.

Nice smoker! I have a weber charcoal one that works great. Most of my rubs and sauces come from 1 book I use all the time, even though i have about 4 books. 2 favorites are World Champion BBQ and Smoke & Spice.
Also www.virtualweberbullet.com is based on the Weber smoker but lots of great recipes on there.

You should also get a remote thermometer like this one.
My pork shoulders usually take almost 24 hrs to smoke.
Smoked turkey is awesome too.

Did anybody else see they are now making a wireless (Bluetooth) thermometer that sends the signal to your iPhone etc.....

Holy crap for $80 bucks I'll keep testing with a fork. I like it bloody rare anyways.

I also spritz with cider or Apple juice to keep it moist as the fat renders out and gives it a nice bark. I have a spray bottle for food use only.

A 50/50 mix of apple juice and water in a spray bottle works wonders on ribs just mist the ribs every so often , voila nice and moist .

I had no problem with my St Louis style ribs (big ones). Low and slow. took 7 hours for fall off the bone.

Hmm , fall off the bone means they over cooked , I like mine so there is just a very slight pull, leave a bite mark in meat , dont tell no one, but I have been known to cook my ribs fall of the bone also .
