Tototal cold smoking newb

[mohole15]

I want to start out by thanking anyone willing to take the time to talk to a total news like me.

I received an Amazen (sp) smoker tube as a gift. I tried it to make smoked cheese and it was AMAZING. Never knew cheese could taste like that.

I want to try to smoke some beef ribs. I have a prehistoric gas grill with no temperature gauge.

Am I tempting the hand of fate?

Do I use the smoker tube for a few hours and then cook as I normally would, or is there a time formula?

Any help would really be appreciated.
