Last night (despite the crappy weather) i tried my first rib smoke, I used Meathead's Memphis Dust recipe, and rubbed 24 hours in advance.
So I fired up my Landmann Tennessee smoker and got it up to 200f, I had problems keeping this temp as my bbq is poorly made, once i throw some cherry wood on, the smoke was pouring out everywhere, my lid is bent and there is a gaping whole where the fire box joins the main chamber so I will have to modify for my next smoke, anyway, after about a hour and a few phone calls i managed to get a steady temp and i was finally up and running. so after 5 hours we had some nice smokey ribs, the flavour and taste was great, a little on the tough side, well i say tough, the meat didnt fall off the bone as i had hoped, but hey, for my first time at smoking, i was pretty pleased with my efforts
