I just finished my first smoke in my new Smokette 09. 4.5 lb of beef ribs. This was only three ribs (lots of meat!) I tried to go by the book - 225 for 4 hours 45 minutes, turned down to 140 (didn't open the door) and went an extra hour. I used one 2 oz hickory chunk. Ribs were very juicy and I would say that the smoke/rub amount was just right as the flavor was good. The ribs were very fatty and a bit chewy. Would more time holding at 140 help?
Thanks to my wife for a spectacular birthday present!
