Good times, Ed!  If you're planning on smoking with it after seasoning (today), I'd recommend leaving the door open for awhile and letting it cool all the way down before putting the ribs in.  Results are always better when you start with a cool smoker and cold meat.

Tony, Thanks for the tip. I wish I could today but we have a St. Pats party tonight so nothing till sunday. The smell from the seasoning makes me want to bail on the party and just eat some ribs!  ;D

Everything is in. We had some famous Dave rub so we are trying that.
One chunk of apple wood, loaf pan with beer, 230 for 5.5hrs no peak. Should be done around 5:30pm!

Ribs turned out good for the first try. I think a smaller piece of wood next time and a little more sugar in the rub. The thinner sections of the ribs were great but the heavier meaty parts were a little more chew than I would like. None of the meat was totally fall of the bone. Not sure if I should try a 3,2,1 next time to help get the fall off the bone style.

Overall the family loved the ribs and I am super thrilled with the smoker!
