Well here is a photo from my first time using WSM18", and my first time smoking ribs. The ribs tasted great, but were a little dry. Overcooked them I guess.
I used the really popular Blues Hog Rub and Sauce on the outboard ribs. I used Texas Rib Rangers Rub on the center rack. Smoked between 225-235for 4.5 hours using Peach and Oak wood.
I see the photo JP, and they look great! Don't sweat the dryness, you've got a starting point, something to build from. You say dry, but I bet they were as good if not better then the stuff we buy at restaurants.
Again, great looking ribs,
Tim
I agree. Great first run! You'll figure out what you like. I recommend using Weber.com recipes. Jamie has good taste and suggestions for mops and sprays to keep the meat moist during the long slow cook. Cheers!
