    Are the new FoodSavers crap? What model do you have and how does it perform?

    Smoking Ribs in advance.

    Hey guys. My plan is to smoke 16lbs of ribs on Sunday for a party we are going to on Monday. I am smoking baby backs using the 2-2-1 method. My thought was to cook using a 2-2-.5 method then add sauce and reheat them on the grill the next day for a half hour. Any thoughts? If I had time I would...
