1st use 1st smoke

Hi All,
First of all, thanks for the advice so far.  I smoked some ribs over the weekend, came out great after 6 hours at 235 and 1/2 hour of rest.  I used 2 chunks of hickory.    Hopefully you can see the before and after pics!
Best,
Hardpan

Some great looking ribs you got there Hardpan! Really nice pullback on the bones, what rub and/or sauce did you use?

Hi Dale,
the rub was just a concoction that i made with salt, pepper, brown sugar, garlic powder,  and cayenne.  Sauce was a tomato sauce, brown sugar, salt, minced garlic, minced onion with some jack daniels and some brandy added to help mellow out the sweetness.
thanks,
Mike

Great choice for the first smoke, Mike!  The ribs look spot on, and I know they were good!    Cheers
