Finally got my smoker a few weeks ago ( thanks BBQ Phil ), and due to weather and/or schedule, was not able to try it till yesterday. I did up a batch of pork ribs. Flavour was great, and I was happy with the results, but I know they could have turned out better. They cooked quicker than I expected. What I found was that after about 1.5 hours in, at 225 - 250 for most of it, when I added wood chips, the temp shot up to 300. If this happens, what do you do? The obvious answer of popping the lid doesn't make sense to me, as you lose the smoke.
