Received my WSM last week and smoked ribs in the rain. Was going to do a butt but it was my boys birthday and he over ruled the butt. Got an idea maybe somebody has tried before. I cured a fresh ham (in pickle) and plan on smoking it tomorrow. Plan on using apple wood and a little hickory for my smoke. I'm thinking about throwing about 4 apple halves on the fire during the last hour or two (removing the seeds of course). Has anyone ever tried this?? I do this with my ribs but I use a large onion or two and a bulb of garlic. It really gives the ribs a unique flavor that is not at all over powering but very tasty.
