so i had my first go at ribs on my brinkman smoke n' grill, this was my first time using the smoker also. i will say they did not come out like i wanted. not entirely terrible, just too tuff. im not sure if i oversmoked them or if during the smoking process i should have put something on them to keep them moist.
i used sugar and silver maple wood, it took a while for me to be able to keep a steady heat of 175 to 200, but from what ive been reading on here is that the temp. gauges that come with them arent usually to precise. so i used a good rub and smoked them for about 5 hrs then put some bbq sauce on during the last few hrs, i smoked them aroung 6 or so hrs. i used wood throughout the whole smoking process, would that have caused them to become tuff?
i signed up for the Smoking Basics eCourse, and i guess im going to go from there and keep reading all the posts on here.
ive been going through this site for a few hrs now, tons of great information. thanks for the help!
peace
