Lesson learned

Friday's lesson? Don't use a borrowed smoker that you are unfamiliar
with for a catering gig.

I spent Friday morning helping Big Al finish off some ribs he had
smoked the night before on a friends electric smoker. This little
electric jobby held more than BA's tried and true WSM, but produced
ribs that were grey and flavorless. Fortunately, the chicken was
smoked to perfection, and saucing the ribs and finishing on the grill
added some flavor and color. Nothing at all to be proud of, but the
lesson was learned.
