Go low and slow...temps for most meats (ribs, roasts, pork butts) I typically smoke at 225 to 250 - pork ribs around 6 hours - pork butts (for pulled pork) around 12 hours. I baste with apple juice every 1/2 hour and also keep a small container of water in the smoker to add some humidity. Here is my recipe for dry rub that I use on most meats and recipe for ribs!
