Hi, I'm CM and just got my 025 today. I'm three hours into the initial seasoning and can't wait to smoke two slabs of ribs tomorrow! I think I'l try Famous Dave's online video recipe.

Welcome to the forum.
Take good notes, foil the bottom and remember to poke a hole in the foil, and foil the top of the firebox.
Good luck.

Congratulations on your new 025 CM. That's the smoker that I bought this July and I think you're gonna love it!
One tip: go light on the wood first time out - no more than 1.5 to 2 oz. You don't want to oversmoke. I did that to a pastrami - yuck! And ribs take on smoke pretty easily I find. As you progress, you'll figure out how much smoke flavor YOU want.
