Smoked my first rack of ribs today! Got a 3lb rack of Smithfield spare ribs from the local store that I covered in yellow mustard and Dave's Rib Rub last night and let them get happy in the fridge overnight. Started smoking with 2.5oz of hickory and a loaf pan full of Nordeast beer at 1:45 and pulled them at 7 after doing the toothpick test. They rested in tinfoil for 15 minutes while I fried up green beans and mushrooms. The bark was phenomenal and they were tender with a some chew to them. Probably weren't perfect and I'm sure I'll get better but they were the best ribs I myself have ever made! Loving this smoker and getting the 3D was great as I didn't have to cut the ribs in half to fit them in the smoker. Best thing about the lazy Q method is that I started them over my lunch break and they were ready a couple hours after I got done with work!
