I like the flavor, but do you think it's too dark?

If you like the taste, does it really matter if it's dark? They look eatable to me!
"Dark" doesn't necessarily mean too much smoke and, as Si opined (how's that for my word of the day?), if it tastes good, who cares? In other words (he opined), if it ain't turned to charcoal and you like the taste and texture, you're good. And them pig & bird parts look good!
Thanks, just curious in case I ever let anybody else enjoy the Bradley eats

How many hours are you applying smoke? There is a point during cooking where the meat stops absorbing more smoke and continuing to burn pucks is a waste of money.
If you like it.....you done good
The dark color is probably more due to the application of sauce during the smoke.
As long as it tastes good to you then keep it up ;)
Generally only 1-3 hours is needed for most smokes. Big hunks of meat may take 4-6. As has been stated if you and your like the flavor that your achieving with the amount of smoke your applying. Then your doing it right.
High sugar content in your rub or sauce can contribute to that.

I usually use a Dijon mustard and then I put durkee brand chicken and rib rub. And smoke for about four hours.

Was planning on mixing up some of the "Jan's" rub for this weekend's smoke. I'm also going to use spare ribs instead of bbr for the first time.

Instead of the whole sparerib -- you may want to think about cutting them into SLS (St. Louis Style) ribs and rib-tips ... Almost all my friends/family prefer the SLS ribs over full spareribs and even over BBR .. It's very easy to trim the spareribs and get SLS ribs out ...
Jan's rubs is awesome on them -- just did a batch of ribs w/ them last weekend (pics posted on the meat page I think) ... just do a 3-2-1 thing and you're golden!
Thanks, I've never done sls do you cut them before smoking?

Yep -- simply cut the tips off before doing anything else. Then smoke/cook the ribs and tips at their own pace .. .I generally only 3-2-1 the ribs and let the tips go full time and then FTC them ..
A friend of mine made a pretty good video on youtube on trimming sls ribs.

Good vid Chris.
At last year's MWSOII Chris taught me how to cut StL ribs. See, not everything about a smokeout is all drinking......you can actually learn something too. :)

You can learn something perhaps -- but with all drinking does anyone remember anything? ::)
