    A day of firsts - first smoke, first ribs, first use of M36 (as smoker)

    I've officially made the transition from Argentine style (open) grill to my M36! Tried my hand at ribs using only wood after the start with lump charcoal. Was worried about keeping temps in the 225-250 range and too much smoke as only stick-burning. Turns out that the M36 made it extremely easy even for a first-time smoker. Never moved from the 225-250 range except when opening grill to spritz. Followed Meathead's great (thank you!) instructions and videos (The Best Smoked BBQ Ribs You've Ever Tasted: Last Meal Ribs Recipe (amazingribs.com)), including Memphis Dust together with Steven Raichlen's project smoke brown sugar-vanilla recipe. While there is no doubt lots of room for improvement, think it was a good start. Excited to begin the journey.

                            Nicely done. I would have liked my first smoke to turn out as well as yours.
