somebody shut me the fark up.
Since I was off today, and since it is the bar's Poker Potluck, I decided to do some ribs.
Eight racks of St. Louis Cut Spare Ribs seasoned with Slap Ya Mama rib rub.

On the smoker at 1 pm. Running a little hotter than I wanted, temp got away from me while I was rubbing the ribs. Not an issue, they'll just cook a little faster (or so I thought).
Running TBS with the door opened just a little. I'll check them every hour in case I need to rotate those on the bottom up a little higher.
About thirty minutes later my temps started dropping. I wanted to build up the bed a little, so I threw some small splits on and a larger split. Fire took off. Had to yank the ribs and take them inside. I then got the big split out and let the little splits burn, but by then 1700 pounds of steel was in the 350* range. Took another 30 mins to get the heat back down. Less than 300* now and I made a bunch more smaller splits. I made need to skip larger splits and keep using the smaller ones. My splitter is going to get a work out...
