We are going out to the lake house with about 25-30 people. I’m smoking 4 racks of spare ribs then about 20lbs of wings.

+1 for Bad Byron’s.

Well, I pulled it off. I had my mom drop the ribs on an hour and a half after I left for church, then I came home early because the brisket and butts were getting done, even with a lower temp, so the butts came out great, the brisket (my first) was wonderful, and the ribs were fantastic. This...

It was pulled off beautifully. I ended up coming home early because the butts & the brisket got done a little faster than expected. I had my mom drop the ribs on an hour later than I left. Now I found out that somehow I bumped the heat to 325 for 45 minutes unwrapped and about 45 minutes wrapped...

I’ll be back for 3-3.5 hours before the party to finish things up. We’ll see how it goes.

I have a party coming up that I am smoking for. I have pork butts, ribs and a brisket, all of which I would plan to smoke at 225. I will put the Brisket and butts on late evening Saturday night at 225, expecting to be at stall by morning, at which time I will wrap them and add the ribs. I plan...
