UPDATE: Yesterday was the first cook on the electric SMUDS aka mini WSM.

I did cheater pulled pork. I took some fresh country style ribs and mix regular mustard and ingllehoffers stone ground mustard together and slathered that on the ribs. then i rubbed with some cherry falvored rub from a friend of mine. Smoked in the SMUDS with 1 apple chunk cut into 4 even strips. placed them on the heavy duty pie tin and placed about 3 inches above the heating element. Had beautifull TBS. smelled awesome. Temp was at 300 BEFORE i placed the meat on the middle rack. Once the meat was on, temps never made it past 200* for 3 hours. I was on medium as well. So it looks as if the cold meat( not at room temp. problem one)
really messes with the temps. I smoked for 3 hours then wrapped in foil and finished in the house for 1 hour.

VERY VERY GOOD. Still not what im looking for but it will do. No bark, even before the foil. Im not sure the if the low temps has something to do with that.
