ah jake.. I understand that you're an expert in every field.. or at least have some nonsensical thing to say about everything. That's cool. I understand that there's some traditional, macho thing involved in smoking meat, to while away in front of a fire - outside. I understand that.

...and if you want to justify your macho-ness by saying that I'm wrong, and not pointing out any particular flaw in my logic - that's cool, too.

...but you won't be making better ribs than me.

No. I'm not an expert in every field. I AM an expert in THIS field. As I said, I grew up in the BBQ bidness. I did point out the flaw prior to your post. The flaw is that if you can't get ribs tender by smoking them then you have no idea what you're doing.
