ALLRIGHTY NOW!!! Off to a good start! Pic size looks to be too big - I show 1024 on one of them (can't be longer than 650 on the long side). What hosting site are you using? Don't worry about trying to hit the 'perfect' 225 degrees. It's just a number. 250-275 is fine to cook most things and lots of folks even go 300-350 (hot and fast). Good luck and keep us posted! _________________ The Matt Ryan of LIARS! (#2)

With foil it will probably take 5 hours or so. One thing about cooking BBQ (or anything else, really) is - 'It's done when it's done'. Do a search for 'Bend Test', although I'm not sure how well it works for racks cut in half. You want some pullback on the bones. Patience, Danielson ! Just remember the more times you open the lid, the longer the cook time will be. Good luck! _________________ The Matt Ryan of LIARS! (#2)

mohunter09, I am reading pics at 1024 as well.
Cooking the ribs with the smoker running steady at 250° to 275° open on the grate for 3 hours wrap for 1.5 hours open up foil firm for about 15 minutes sauce or eat as is. _________________ Always remember slow and steady wins the race.

Don't worry about temp spikes too much. That just means you've been screwing with the vents too much . IMO go ahead and play with them to learn how they affect the temps. _________________ The Matt Ryan of LIARS! (#2)

Our 18.5" when settled in has the intakes open about 1/8 to a 1/4 no more. Once the cooker is settled in there is no real need in playing with the intakes.
Being new yours will run hotter until you dull the inside a bit. _________________ Always remember slow and steady wins the race.

They will be fine. Most mistakes in BBQ eat quite well.  _________________ Always remember slow and steady wins the race.

mohunter09 please actually read the threads following PMPNLT650pxOTLS!
Then read this one too!
Then you will understand about sizing your pictures before you upload them, making sure the upload settings on photobucket are set correctly, then all will work well for you!

mohunter09, You need to set the pic re-sizer in photobucket to 640 x 480.
Once you do that take these pics out of photobucket and reload them to photobucket. If you need help I will happy to help. _________________ Always remember slow and steady wins the race.

I know you are already done now, but I bet they turned out great. People try to make smoking so complicated sometimes! Just cook them at 225-250 or so until they pass the bend test and the bones pull back, keep them moist and they will be great. I don't need any foil and mine turn out perfect. _________________ Swamp Mama's Hawgs & Dawgs BBQ & Jerky Shack
