Also you can cheat, smoke your pork then put all the meat in a foil pan, add a little butter and beer, cover it with foil and let it cook for an hour or so, ribs will fall off the bone. Also brisket takes a while, I do brisket for about 4 hours on smoke and 6-8 wrapped up, and the best is when u do pork and beef together, put them in the same pan and let all the pork fat drip on the brisket. Dont pour out the drippings, thats better than bbq sauce. Fyi I use adkins western bbq rub, I get it at the grocery store. Or make your own.
