Recently I noticed a few questions regarding using lump.

Here are some pictures of the smoke I did over the weekend. I did 24#'s of Pork Spares. Took about 5 1/2 hrs. of smoking time.


Smoke Wood I used.

My Rub.

My Lump.

Ribs after they were rubbed.

Charcoal bowl with 1 full chim. of un-lit lump and smoke wood.

1 full chim. of lump about to become hot coals.

Dumped the hot coals into the bowl.

After everything catches and the smoke calms down (approx. 30 mis.), I assemble the cooker, put in the ribs, vent the fuel door (see picture) and wait until it gets up to 250-260.

Ready to close fuel door.

Just where I want it.

Here are a few slabs after about 5 1/2 hours (I don't sauce my ribs. I let the people eating them do that.)

Hope this helps somebody.
 
Keith, the ribs look awesome dude. I am like you, I don't sauce my ribs either, both my bride and I both enjoy them without the sauce.
 
Keith,
What type of rib rack is that? How many racks can it hold? I am looking at the picture and having a hard time. Is it 6 or 7?

It works out just fine. When I first started I used a lot less and built up to that amount for the amount of ribs I do. The hickory squares are only about 2"X2". The apple chunks I got are giant. Its not too smokey. Its just right. I also let them burn down for about 30 mins before adding the ribs. Maybe that helps as well.

Here is a picture of the size of the smoke wood.
 
Lance. I think it is a Charbroil rack. I have 2 of them. They are awesome'cause you can bend them open or closed a little bit. They hold up to 6-7 slabs.
 
Maybe this one?

I love doing the MM for the start, using lump, instead of briquettes. They get going so much quicker I think. And less waste too.

Nice looking ribs by the way.
 
Those are some nice lookin' ribs there. I always find that a combo if Hickory and Apple wood is the best way to go. It gives the meat the right amount of smokyness flavor. Thanks for the excellent pics.

My 8 yr old nephew stayed with me and I let him pick what he wanted for dinner, he picked ribs. After dinner, I asked him how they were, and he said they we're ok. I said "just ok?" and he said "my dad's are much saucier." I guess he didn't see the bowl of sauce sitting in front of him.
 
Thanks guys! Ribs are my thang! The only problem is the whole neighborhood knows about them now (gettin a lot of requests & self invites)
