Bought some nice meaty spare ribs on sale, cut them in half, threw them on the 14.5" smoker using a mix of hickory and apple wood. Took about 4 1/2 - 5 hrs, and they were done. Little smoker runs rock solid and steady. I was happy with the results. Hope everybody is trying to stay cool. Here are the pics .













Time to eat!

Looks good, Michael!

I suppose temps ran about 300° on average?

I couldn't tell you the last time my water pan had water in it. Still not a problem maintaining 250 or a little lower.

Sharp eye, ever since I got this little guy, I haven't really needed any water in the water pan. I just let it go with all vents open. Seems to work pretty good for me .
