You guys are too kind. And of course, I'm my own critic. AND ... you didn't see the final result. The butts came out too hot and the bark/outside was WAY overdone. Still, there was plenty of goodness to salvage. The ribs were also cooked a touch too long. They were definitely fall-off-the-bone done. Which everyone at the party thought was perfect, but I thought was too much.
Still, I think the flavor was on. Just need more practice with the smoker, I suppose. I guess I can live with that.
