So, as we speak I have 3 racks of St. Loius ribs in the smoker.
I followed this recipe:
http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/rib2.html
The racks have been on for 30 minutes now, bottom vents 100%, top vent 100%, full pan of cold water, 3/4 of a pan of charcoal with 32 ignited coals on top with 4 pieces of apple chunk on top of that.
The smoker will not break the 170 degree mark! I checked the thermometer yesterday in boiling water and it was only 2 degrees off.
Should I pull the pan and fill with hot water!?! The recipe listed above calls for cold water to control temperature.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance! Love the site!
