It's my second time ever smoking with an offset. 2 weeks ago I did a spatchcock chicken which came out pretty good. Today I'm trying some ribs and Gary's beans.
Got the blue smoke going, both are ready to go on the smoker.

Ready to begin the Rat race.

And rat race it has been for the past 1 1/2 hours. It started out too hot running at around 300 degrees and I couldn't get it down. Once I got it down now I'm struggling to get the temperature back up.
It's holding around 215 now but know that I should be between 225 and 240.
I've got a lot of white smoke coming off of the cherry splits that I'm using. I just hope that it's not too bitter when it's all said and done.
Should I add about a 1/4 chimney of lump to keep it going?
