240° is my magic temp.

i threw a handful of oak pellets in my charcoal nest before i put the ribs on for a little sweet smoke.

well, i am very proud of myself. i had a problem and i fixed it w/ ya'lls help. i did cook spares instead of bb backs. i raised my temp to 240° on my dial. i did use a heat deflector (pizza pan w/ holes drilled into it). works great. ya'll can call me a sissy drummer if you want because i use a heat deflector. its cool. great cooks adapt to their cookers. i have accomplish this w/ Ursula. thats right. who da man. sparky da man. :cool:

great looking ribs!

Rib-O-lish-ous!!!!!
Great job Sparky. I am liking that drum more and more.....Hello - "Big Papa? GOt more o' dem?"
-
They look almost as good as my spares ;) ;D. Joking, the reason mine come out so good is because of your tips. I don't see That BBQ sauce around here any more.
So what drove ya to do spares this time. I'm the opposite, I don't do BB cause I can't see paying $15 or more per rack when I can get the same results from the spares.

Spares do seem to cook up moister at a higher temp than 225. Using the heat deflector in the drum will help with the drippins going down the lit coal causing even more smoke....good call....sissy smoker...(http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc469/s1cott11/icon_biggrin.gif)

some one told me that spares are more forgiving and they are cheaper. i had wrecked 5 racks already on Ursula and the wife wasn't happy. :'( i have always cooked bb backs but the spares were flatter bones and the same size from left to right in thickness. bb backs aren't like that. i might have to start experimenting w/ spares. ya know how much i like experimenting. just like that 70's. ::) ;) :D
