First Smoked Ribs - My Birthday - A few Pics Included

[KyNola]

Hey Arnie,
Question for you.  In the first pic where you're smoker is being loaded, there appears to be something protruding through your V-tray at the front corner of each side but when I look at your next pic, they're not there.  At first I thought you had your V-tray installed below the lugs and reinstalled by the time the second pic was taken but a closer inspection looks like it was properly installed in both pics. So what's up?

Ribs look great BTW.

KyNola,

I see what you mean.  I had no idea the pics would be scrutinized so closely ;)

I think it's just a reflection, the brassy color coming from the flash and the ribs above.  The reflection is likely not there in the second pic because the drip dray is no longer very shiny.

[KyNola]

That might explain it.  Thought you had some super-secret way of doing ribs you weren't telling us about. ;)

Har!  Give me a few years to practice, huh?

Good looking ribs Arnie, by the looks of every body's plate they were a hit.

There is a learning curve on doing ribs and it looks like your well on your way.
