Well I smoked my first set of ribs tonight in my Model 2. Overall, I'd say my ribs were pretty good. I was happy with most of the ribs but a couple of them came out a little dry. I smoked for 2.5 hours @ 250, rotated the ribs top to bottom, and then smoked 2.5 hours more. I used a modified version of Memphis Dust and the ribs definitely needed more flavor. I went up to 250, rather than 235, because of loading the smoker with 4 racks. Using my Thermapen, I was consistently measuring 248 from the vent hole, which makes me think I could probably set the temp to 240 next time and be just fine. I used 2.5 oz of Hickory but might increase to 3 oz in the future. The smoke flavor was there but not as pronounced as I would have liked, and there was little to no smoke ring on most of the ribs. I put a loaf pan with half water and half apple cider vinegar for moisture. Im wondering if rotating the ribs caused part of the dryness.
I took a picture of the ribs going in but forgot to take any of the ribs coming out. Oops. I'm excited to try again with a few modifications.
