I recently started prepping my ribs the night before letting them sit in the fridge all night, cold smoker cold ribs 235 for 5 hrs. 3 oz. cherry 2 mini loaf pans apple juice and they come out about the same every time don't miss the foiling and all the other tricks you read about, let em rest 15 minutes or so, I think they slice better, a lite sauce and perfect every time!!
