Hello All. New to the TVWBB. Planning on smoking a full Bullet worth of spare ribs (dry rub, no mop, no foil) for our New Year's party, which begins around 8:00 p.m.
Weather forecast for tomorrow (northern Massachusetts): 38 degrees through noon with possible ice pellets (nice), temp climbing to high 40's but with the wind kicking up to 25 mph.
I am planning to rub 2 hours prior & let the meat come up to room temperature; no water in pan; Minion method with Kingsford; mixture of hickory & apple; no insulating blanket or wind barrier available, but I think I can tuck the Bullet into a corner to cut down on exposure to the breeze.
What time do you think I should plan on placing the meat in the smoker? I am guessing 12:30 p.m. on, 8:30 p.m. off, for an 8 hour smoke at an expected 225 degrees. Any guidance / recommendations would be appreciated.
