    Pork Shoulder "Western Ribs"

    So I bought two more "western ribs" over the weekend and threw them in the smoker while I had a chicken in there.  I did them as simple as possible.  No brine or seasoning beforehand.  I smoked them at 240 degrees with apple wood chips using a 2-1.5-1 method, putting BBQ sauce on for that final...

    Hello from Dayton

    Hi, I'm Michael, currently living in Dayton, OH.  I've done some limited meat smoking over the past few years, but I still am pretty new to the process.  I use a self-built electric-element Trash Can Smoker which has worked very well so far, and I'd be curious to see if there are any others...
