If your main objective is ribs you don't need to factor in a lot of sleepless nights when considering a stick burner. That is a concern for your big meats like shoulder or brisket. ( And if you experiment with hot and fast your not loosing that much sleep serving at kick off.) I am partial to the flavor of stick burners. But after cooking 8 shoulders and a packer last night when it was 19F last night I am going to look into insulated smokers like a Stumps! I'm still cold and tired.
