Just picked up a masterbilt 30" electric, am in the process of preseasoning it now. This is my first smoker and my first time smoking anything will be a bunch of ribs on Tuesday. Have a few questions...
Type of ribs, any suggestions? Never bought ribs before. Any recipes for an easy dry rub. Is the most common process to apply the rub then let it sit for 24 hours? When its time to smoke from what I've read, preheat smoker to 225, ribs in for 3 hours, out and wrapped in tin foil and back in for 2 hours, then stuck in a cooler for an hour, or the 3-2-1 method.
Other questions I have are, is the meat supposed to warm up before it goes in? Assuming it doesn't go in stone cold. What situations do I add water to the pan? How do I know when to add more wood chips, when theres no more smoke :)?
So many questions... Thanks for the help!
