first smoke attempt ribs!!!

[Smokey the Bear.]

I leave my vent fully open for everything, maybe that will help.

How many hours? I use hickory as my main wood and don't seem to have a problem of oversmoke - but it is also a matter of personal preference. Don't know if it makes a difference but I always cook with the vent wide open.

3 hours of smoke just had some re heated and they acrid taste was less any ideas?

When the smoke finished did you knock the last puck off the burner?

Well you know better next time.

It's all a learning curve.

Alot of us use Bubba Pucks and that way we don't have to worry about it.

bubba pucks from the pool supply place? is that the best spot to order bisquettes as well?

[GusRobin]

The best place is to look for sales. Amazon has a 4 for price of 3 sale every now and then.

For my taste, three hours of smoke on ribs is too much, and I use a vent setting of 1/4 - 1/2. I generally apply two hours. My choice of bisquettes for pork is pecan.

Thanks Habanero, i have reheated some with a little more sweet bbq sauce and it mellows it out quite abit so overall my first smoke was a success!!! ;D
