As some of you know, I just joined the forum this week after a neighbor gave me his Masterbuilt Electric Smoker (Gen 2.5 based on Bear's pics). As luck would have it Winn Dixie had a BOGO sale on ribs this week so I picked up 4 slabs (@ 3.5 lbs each).
Welp, after researching recipes, sauces etc..the time has come to make my FIRST ATTEMPT into smoking some ribs and preparing a meal.
My question to the experienced smokers and meal preparers, any tips or tricks that you've learned through the trial and error process that you can pass along....or is smoking more of a make your own mistakes and learn from them type of hobby?
EDIT::: Smoking had to be delayed until tomorrow...Bad Thunderstorms popped up just as I was turning smoker on...knocked out power for a few hours.
