Cook Temp FEC100

Smokin' taught, 4 hrs @ 275 for 3# trimmed spares. Can't remember him ever telling which spot he cooked them, but I'm sure with a little practice, a feller outta be able to figure out what works in his smoker.

^^^^^^^What he said, then toothpick test.

Assuming 4 shelves; 1 is the top and 4 is the bottom...shelf 4 tends to cook a little faster, followed by 1. That's been my experience cooking 12 racks at a time. If only smoking a rack or two, it probably doesn't make mush difference.

Left is hotter than right & top right is hotter than bottom right (@/below outlet).
Put larger racks to the left and rotate up&down if doing more than one shelf.
Also if doing 3 racks it's best to use two shelves instead of cramming onto one.

if I do multiple racks of ribs or do a full load (40 racks) with ribracks, I always rotate once in the middle of the cook.

I did forget to rotate once and was almost late for a big date with some very hungry people.

Thx Gents!
