Have had my 2D for just over 3 years now and... first set of ribs today.  I know... 3 years to do ribs!?!  I'm a mechanical engineer, which means I may have control issues, so pork butt and briskets are my go-to choices, as temp is the controlling factor, unlike ribs, which are more time...

Last weekend, I took my first attempt at smoking more than one thing at a time in my 2D.  The subjects of this run were two prime pork butts, one of about 8.5 lbs and the other a touch over 9 lbs.  Intended to get to the butcher shop early Friday, so I could get them in a brine, but that...
