First time doing Ribs

Great looking ribs Trip, can't wait to do my first ribs.....

Some animals make great food, some don't.

Funny thing about meat; it's made by animals, and everyone knows you can't trust them for quality control!

Ok got the smoker empty unfortunately, but doing some temp testing.  Got my heatermeter with two different types of probes and a ET-735 probe in there for good measure.

Smoker is at 233
ET-73 Probe is at 238
Thermoworks Probe is at 241
Maverick ET-735 is reading 241

I have the three probes clipped to the top rack all near the permanent probe.  I will keep it running for awhile and see if the temp drops with time for some reason.

So if anything my smoker temp is higher than expected

At an hour:

Smoker is at 234.7
ET-73 is at 240.4
Thermoworks is at 240.7
ET-735 is at 240

Think I am going to call it ok temp wise, may have just been the meat.

I'm just impressed how close your 3 thermometers were!

Definitely an odd ball then. I've seen meat vary significantly between cooks myself too. I say we blame the farmer for selling occasional animals that must have been fed or exercised differently. That's my logic anyway.
