Sailor61,
I started with steaks, hard to mess up, 1st batch of ribs I messed up left on too long and didn't have the platesetter, I think you should make sure to get a platesetter as a 1st extra.
And Welcome to the "addiction"

I had same problem with pans to hold v-rack ended up bending the legs in on the rack and "stretching" a cheapy foil pan, it worked though.
Good job on the bird, looks nice.

RittmanRod,
well got the temp to stay at a steady 325 ish for a good hr, so the bird just went on, iced the breast, and I don't know if this is common knowledge already but I flattened out to sticks of butter, the size of the breast earlier tonight…
thirdeye,
When starting fire with a chimney, is it better to
pour chimney into bottom then top off with the rest,
or is it better to fill then pour hot coals on top?
The Owner of the meat packing co that I get most of my meat told me once
about how hard it was for him to find Baby backs that weren't "Juiced"
He said Sams , walmart and most of the super stores ribs were Juiced and
they wouldn't take the flavo…
Sundown,
I've been using Cowboy brand, what lump do you use? mine doesn't seem to smoke much, have been adding a few hickory chips, have seen hickory chunks, is there a winner in chips vs chunks?
