ribs / butt smoke question

[James H]

So i am doing 3 butts for sd, but found some beef ribs which i love so want to add them to the cook. Question is if i put the butts on with the smokewood first, how do i get smoke when i put the ribs on 5 hours later. Add more wood? would that be too much smoke for the butts? Thanks for the help and Happy Smoke Day!!!!

Just add more wood. It won't change the results of the butts. I typically take tongs and bury the pieces of wood in the coals.

Ditto what Ken said.
