As a first-time poster, I just wanted to thank the senior members of the forum for the tremendous knowledge and recipes you enthusiastically share with inexperienced but determined smokers such as myself. It makes owning a Bradley Smoker fun and rewarding, and for that the company and all of the silent forum users in particular owe you all a big big thank you.
To date, I have used recipes provided by WesTexasSmoker (brisket), TenPoint5 (pork baby backs and spares), and NePaSmoker (pork butt) to achieve truly excellent results. As an example, I thought I might share pictures (First time trying this. Using the tutorial provided by FLBentRider. Another thank you needed there.) from last weekend's batch of pork baby backs made using the TenPoint5 Plan as we have come to call it. The left-hand rack is treated with PYM and a simple garlic heavy rub I made, while the right-hand rack is coated with a store-bought (Superstore) pork rub.

Here's the homemade rub rack after 3 hours of maple at 220 C and 1.5 hours boating in apple juice at the same temperature.

Here's the same rack after saucing and heating at 220 C in my OBS for the final hour.

And finally, here's the rack on the table ready to eat.

It didn't last long. Not surprising, as it was smokey, moist, tender, and delicious, like it always comes out when I use the TenPoint5 Plan.
So many thanks to all the Hero Members and Members Extraordinaire. You are a big reason for my modest success and great satisfaction with the Bradley Smoker.
Best,

Hey 10.5,
The ribs look good because they're your ribs. ;D I just followed the instructions like I do every time. And every time they turn out great. I have to assume they call you 10.5 because when folks eat your ribs they say "Mmmmmmm! I gotta give those ribs a score of 10.5 out of 10."
Thanks again for all the info and words of encouragement.

I wish that was the case!!! The folks that eat my ribs are 10, 9, 7, and 5 can't forget the Momma either. They either eat them which is a good thing, or they say "I'm not hungry". The 7yr old will Pull the "I don't like Meat" thing.
Tenpoint 5 comes from the 5 Tenpoint whitetail racks on the walls in my office.

Great looking ribs Triple S. Looks like you are on your way to getting a gold star in ribs from your family.
And I give you a Platinum Star! Don't know who taught you how to brown nose, but they did a good job - I had to not only get out the wading boots, but also the chest waders on that one! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Well deserved though - 10.5 knows how to do it well!
Welcome to our world.
Remember, smoking is addictive..........

Awesome looking ribs Saltspring, you live in a very beautiful part of the world, welcome.
