My first run at ribs - 6 hours, a smokenator, not enough beer, too much cold

[_Keith]

Regarding the stubbornly low temperatures: I crack the lid by maybe half an inch and point a blow dryer through the top of the smokenator to great effect.

Very nice! I bet your neighbors were going crazy from the smell! Great commentary!

That was the one downside - ribs don't put out as much of a smell as some bigger joints, so I didn't get the torture part of the cook right. Next time I'll do something that teases more

Shook my foot but no good, by the time I put the chimney down it had burnt a pretty good hole.
I can be lazy, but I think I will remember shoes and gloves at least.

I was going to say I'm glad it's not just me, but ouch!

A, great write up and very humorous, especially at the end. Trial and Error method of learning (The best way but not always the most economical and can be hazardous to your health) was very present during your cook. And last but not least was your cook results. Quality, looks like you hit a home run.

Congrats!!.....................................hop e you weren't burned to bad.

Looks terrific, I enjoyed reading the commentary. Most of my cooks go about like this. Last night I started the grill at 49F, more food on and it was 35F, too lazy for a jacket so out in just shorts at 29F. Stepped in some wet coal dust stuff and tracked it into bed so that was lovely, then I needed a new basket of coals. I lit them up with my torch, and in slow motion I could see this burning ember fall out of the bottom, I knew it was gonna get my foot but I was helpless to stop it. Shook my foot but no good, by the time I put the chimney down it had burnt a pretty good hole.
