    Bout time I re-introduced myself

    I joined a while back. I think around '07. Hung around a couple years and learned a lot. But I've been bouncing around the net since then learning from some of the best around.

    2-2-1 w/foil pan?

    Tried this last weekend on the "Memorial rib smoke" and it worked pretty good. Some of the best Ive done in fact. I had an enormous foin pan that I had bought for brisket but realized it was way too big for my cooler so it never got used. Well when I was smokin my ribs I decided to try. Oh yeah...
