Notice the ribs. The rack at the rear is store bought Kroger.
The one closest to the sausages is from the Butcher.
Huge difference in quality. Price was the same for both racks about $18.00 each.
No vent? Wow mine has a vent at the top left side of the cabinet. Perhaps try fewer chips in the tray, like a tablespoon each time?
You're welcome. :eyebrows:
Next time try adding more chips or more often. I found with mine that every 30 mins produced good results and I keep the draft wide open too.

Me too which is why I bought it. Just remember to keep the wood chips fed, for my taste about 30 mins between chip feeding for great ribs. I use a mix of pecan and apple wood. Might do a nice brisket this week end,hickory for the brisket and 14 hours. That is alot of beer:rolleyes:
I love my smoker,wood fired keep an eye on it all day while enjoying a beer or three. That said I recently purchased the Master built and while it is not the same as my big smoker, it does a great job. I like that I can set the temp and time then walk away. For good smoke you will need to feed...
