I don't like my ribs

[Len Dennis]

I was going to say the same thing. If I hang around the smoker inhaling all that smoke smell from my cook most often it will not have a smoky flavor to me and seem kind of bland.
The next day it's oh wow what a great smoky taste.

Great. I thought it was just me and I'd need to add more wood next smoke but next day, the smoke is really there. Pheww!

I've been eating leftovers all week. I can guarantee you that there is no smoke flavor!

I've used that same exact wood as well and I don't really get much of a smokey smell either. I ordered some hickory from http://www.smokinlicious.com/ and get some really good results. I want to try their fruit woods next

Did you forget or forgo the sauce?
To me... wrapping/foiling tends to homogenize ribs, so sauce becomes necessary.

I find the same thing happens when I wrap my ribs too.
