long time reader first time smoker. ive been hardcore into BBQ, for few years now. would be lost without my weber.

recently a friend turned me onto http://www.willinghams.com/ . never before had i considered smoking. well i ordered their rub/sauce kit. hmmmm now me thinks its time to try smoking.

i run over to dad's and borrow is Brinkman's Gourmet Smoker, put on a acouple few pots of coffee and start surfing for tips. found this site and acouple others that are just awesome.

bout the only real confusing part i found was the lack of Brining info out on the web.

i finally work up the courage and buy my first rack of ribs. after prepping them and rubbing em(decided not to brine first time). i smoke em. not having a pellet box for my chips i did the wrap in foil method.

came time to add the sauce i pulled out the COOL BREEZE and try it first. i was told its liquid fire. they couldnt be more right. seeing that i didnt have enough beer on tap (love my kegirator) i go with the cajun hot.

my ribs were a lil tough, but these best ribs ive had. cant wait to start trying other methods.

wanted to post on here and thank everyone for all the excellent posts. thank you all.

ROTFL. Thanks for the morning laugh. You don't know why, but THE spot on the web for brining is right here and you're talking to him. You can also Google on Brining 101 and I'm the first link or just Google on Brining and get a lot more.

Go to this link (it's in the BBQ Guide at the top of the page)
Brining 101

Check through that and let me know if you have any questions.

Now that you found this form you just need to read it. I started out here and have smoked Butts, Ribs, Hamburgers, Hot dogs, and a brisket so far. I read and ask questions and have only had one bad smoke. It might not have been bad to someone, but I did not like the flavor of the Jack Daniel chips. I don't drink and haven't for many a year now. Curosity got the better of us I guess. Should have asked the form before even buying those. Check out all the 101 section its got great stuff there.
God bless and great smokin
a friend of mine i work with. says he soaks his ribs, havent ever asked him why. so when i decided to get into smoking, figured look-up what i can. was googleing.... soaking ribs.

and found this post -- dont remember where, but the guy listed acouple different types.

1 was using 1cup normal salt 1 cup sugar and something else

and the other was using 1/2 cup kosher salt 1 cup sugar and something else.

then saw a lil while later do not soak em ... then again soak em.

dont know how i missed the basics 101s on here. think i concentrated more on the recipes and tips there. Smiler
Maybe he knows that the Montgomery Inn down in Cincy boils their ribs and sells a lot of sauce to cover them?

There used to be some woman out in Mo that brined ribs in a cookbook once.

Maybe they were making pickles and decided to save ribs for the winter?

My "coonass" relatives pickle pork and it is dandy in red beans and rice.
We have family in New Iberia,at the heart of Cajun country in sw Louisiana.

cajun

This may ,or may not,refer to backwoods.

cultural cajun

You are more likely to hear cajun/french spoken with all the regional colloquialisms,than conversational english.

"coonass"

Most likely spoken with pride,if you are in the large family. Wink

i.e.,a buckeye fruit may be defined as a nut from western Ohio with no commercial or intrinsic value.

To a native of Ohio,where it is the state tree,being a "buckeye" groups you with other proud natives,or residents,of the "buckeye state. Wink
