My name is Brent I live in SW Florida.  I am very new to smoking.  I'm using a brinkmann gourmet electric smoker.  I smoked my first rack of Ribs last weekend.   They were cooked well but the rub was very salty.  Will be trying out a new recipe tomorrow.  any and all advice for a beginning smoker is welcome.

Hello Brent, and welcome from rainy East Texas. Look through the different forums and post you will find a lot of information there. Put in "Ribs" in the search it will bring up lots of recipes. I am assuming you are using the 3-2-1 or 2-2-1 method, cut back on the salt in your rub, and when you wrap use some honey, honey powder or brown sugar and some squeeze butter.

smoked a pork butt last week.  took a little longer than I expect to get to a internal temp of 200.  I plateaued around the 160 degree marker but stayed patient, got the internal temp to 200 and had some great pulled pork.
