    need advice on smoking ribs and a porkloin at the same time

    Here's how my smoke went. The ribs were fall off the bone tender (the way we like them) and the loin was so moist you could squeeze juices out of each slice. I was very happy with the results. Took 4 hrs for the ribs and 1hr 45 minutes for the loin at an average temp of 250

    need advice on smoking ribs and a porkloin at the same time
