Foamheart-I could have given you your first bad ribs if you were here for my first batch on my smoker. I would have rather licked a telephone pole than had those in my mouth. Awful.
Thanks for your responses. I do like to cook what my family likes (wife likes fall off the bone so I'll do one that way for her), however, I'm more just exploring the different aspects of what is considered a good bite in ribs. Not that I'm gunning for competition, but in my experience the...
Being new to smoking meat and only really having had either restaurant "fall off the bone" or crock pot ribs (also fall of the bone) previously, I'm not entirely sure what the "bite" of a spare rib should be like. I do the bend test on my ribs before I know they are ready so I think the "bite"...

Greetings from NC. My name is Bryan. I have been smoking ribs and butts on a Weber grill for the past 5 months and finally decided to step up to an offset smoker. I actually didn't just decide on the offset I was looking at craigslist for months for something of quality I could fix up and...
