Great thread! I just recently bought an offset smoker for tailgating season and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about smoking. I've been learning alot at www.thesmokering.com, but haven't actually tried anything yet. I want to do ribs first because I think they'd be easiest, but I'd also like to try some wings and chicken. I'll need to prepare it the night before and take the food off the smoker in the morning before we roll our bus down to the tailgate round 6am, I'm just not sure how to properly keep it warm or warm it back up when it's time to eat. And for all you smokers out there who haven't had this, you must try it! It'll give you a heartattack at the end but it's delicious:
