Hello everyone. After a month of talking the wife into allowing me to buy a smoker after I just spending 500 dollars on a gas grill was not easy. I am new to grilling and have never owned or smoked anything. The final reason I taked her into a smoke is we both love BBQ but the two times I tried to cook baby back ribs on the grill they were nasty. Ended up feeding them to the dog both times. Not even sure he was happy with them. So, I purchased my smoker online today. I have read on the sights where you have to fine tune your cooking rubs, etc. At this point I am at a do or die if the brisket or ribs do not come out right. I have not decided yet if it will be ribs or brisket the first time. But can someone who has tried different things and fined tuned it give me there step by step best way they found so my first cook on the smoker does not get me shot by a mad wife?
