First cook in the new smoker 4 racks SL cut & 1 rack baby-back ribs using the smoker as a stick burner (1st time for me using wood) Thanks to all those who posted how to start the fire in a stick burner. This is quite a bit different than my horizontal modified COS. Am using the rib racks that came with the smoker if they work out I may order another set as I will have 9 racks of baby backs & 6 racks of beef ribs to do on the 4th of July for our extended family. I’ll be doing pulled pork & pulled beef the day before sense they take so long & people can heat some up & make sandwiches during the day while waiting for dinner. (anyway that worked well last year). Well it looks like the stock rib racks are not the best thing with out a shelf under them the ribs fall out, I’ll have to think what I can do with them. Had to pull the ribs Cut & use webber racks on a shelf. had trouble with temp. could not get it high enough until I removed the water pan, wouldn’t get over 200°F. after removal held 235°F with 1 spike to 300°F wen I wasn’t watching.
Ribs in stock rib racks This didn't work very well.
Finished but not the best I have made. They were dry brined overnight & coated with MMD
Ribs tasted great & were very moist & tender, but I think they could have gone a little longer. Due to temp problems they cooked for 6 hrs.&15min.
Didn’t last long enough to get photos of all when done but they all looked just about like these 2 1/2 slabs.
