    Looking for a glaze for ribs

    i have used it in the past and it works well but I feel like I get the exact same flavor profiles that I have already used when I do that.  My goal is to add another layer of flavor(s) that compliment well.

    Info on small smokers?

    I have a Brinkman and really really like it, it will do a good bit of chicken, or two pork butts, or a brisket and a pork butt or 4 to 5 fatties. You only have to do a few mod to make it work fantastic. I have since upgraded to a Smoke 'n Pit but still have and use my ECB alot.
