    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I suppose I didn't put much thought into it actually since this is my very first "screen name"...ever. My business was called Allegro so I went with that. It means moving at a quick pace...which is actually so opposite of everything about smoking...oops!

I think I might have overdone the smoke on the ribs but having not tasted them yet we will see. They will be done around 7 tonite. Any suggestions as to soaking or not soaking...

    Hi again...It says its a model number 009 on the back...maybe its the same as yours? I doubt it though, you sound much more experienced than I!
