losing moisture in ribs

No..............

Popajack...
My Smokette does the same thing occasionally...but it has never affected the finished product.

I think if you open the door during the smoking cycle, it will allow moisture to escape, and that possibly would do it.

I have never run into this problem, and I do pork ribs for 5-6 hrs without ever opening the door.

Hope this helps..

SmoKen, What kind of ribs do you do? Baby Backs or Spares?

From what I have been told, all Smokettes doors leak some smoke. By design. There are many posts with lengthy discussions on this you can find thru the search.
