[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1765524, member: 24428"] You guys are hard-core smokers!!!!! I'm just a novice at smoking meats. I've got a cheap $120 Great Outdoor brand 'Smokey Mountain Series' upright box smoker that heats with propane. I stick in my water pan filled with liquid hickory smoke.... along with a couple of chunks of charcoal & some pecan chips in a steel smoker box off to the side so it smolders... and get falling of the bone ribs and tender brisket. Question: Do you guys ever boil your ribs before cooking them in the smoker to make them tender? I hear that a lot of people do and I've see that recommended on the rib packages... but I never have... and still end-up with falling off the bone ribs. Disgruntled Computer Tech.... I saw from your pictures that it looked like you had polished the inside of your barrel. By chance did the barrel have some kind of chemical stored in it before you converted it into a smoker? I've heard that some chemicals can leach into the metal [even when washed very well] and then when the barrel is heated for smoking meats... hazardous fumes are released. [/QUOTE]
