I recently acquired some hooks for hanging meat rather than placing on racks. Tthought i would try for pork belly/bacon but was wondering if folks use for other meats (ribs, whole chickens, etc). and partcularily for pork belly bacon. Any benefits for a better end product?

I like that method for whole chickens and turkeys. It's a great way to cook a lot of ribs, too. -
+1 on chickens. In my Bronco I have also hung ribs, which I prefer, I tried a Tri Tip which I did not like.Comment

Hanging ups the efficiency of brisket. Awesome with chicken and turkey with the dark meat closer to the heat. I hanged my bellies too.

Ever since watching the Argentine Fire episode of Planet BBQ I have been attempting some cooks on my Santa Maria using hooks with good success following their methods.

You don't say what you're cooking on.
Some of us hang almost everything on my PBC. (Pit Barrel Cooker)

I like hooking and hanging in my PBC. The drippings going onto the fire has 3 advantages.
1 the grease burns up minimizing grease clean up.
2.the grease creates “grill smoke” which produces great flavor
3. Because it’s not using a diffuser the meat is exposed directly to the radiant heat and picks up great sear/bark.Comment

The BBQ gods meant for us to cook meat, hanging on hooks over a live fire.
