Hello everyone,I was just loading my OBS this morning to make some spare ribs this time,and some things went through my mind.This thing is so easy to use,that I don't know why I waited so long to get into smoking.I was worried about having to learn how to smoke,and thought it would be a major learning curve.Then,I wondered what I would do with all the food when I made it,because I thought you would have to fill a big smoker.I also worried about having to watch the smoker all the time to keep it at proper temp and smoke,and feeding wood all day.As you can see,I am a novice,but I feel comfortable already with this thing.The nice part is I can make one rack of ribs,and it is no big deal,and that is what I am doing today.So,any of you who are still thinking about smoking,go ahead and do it,and start enjoying some really good hassle free food.
