Help an MES rib smoking newbie please. Much love.
Been a member a couple years and have grown to love my MES for pork butts and fish. (I am a salmon fisherman here in Washington) Regretfully I have never done ribs on mine. I have read lots of post but none specific to the MES for St. Louis Ribs ? I always use Jeffs rub and plan to do so... -

Taylor wireless conassuire want to love but cant
Got a Taylor on sale at Target for $12 bucks regular 30. Its the Conassuire model and has some great features and works great in all but one very important area.
