Baby backs are a good choice, but make sure you've seasoned the smoker before you throw them in there. A few tips for your first smoke:
- Season the smoker per the instructions on the Smokin-It website.
- Buy some heavy duty extra-wide tin foil for lining the bottom of the smoker and the lid of the smoker box.
- Be sure to use a decent thermometer (like the Maverick).
- Don't go too heavy on the wood ... one dowel will do you nicely.
Best of luck on breaking her in! Be sure to post pics under the Pork discussion thread.
