    Ribs too many

    Hey guys and gals, I need some input. I have a 22.5 Weber Kettle and a 18.5 Smokey Mountain. I have six slabs of baby backs to cook tomorrow. I need them done from 1:00 to 3:00 because everyone is not stopping by at the same time. Any advice??? I also have a Weber gas genesis but rarely use it except for warming. Planning to start about 6:00 in the morning. Temp will be 46 degrees no wind. Just popped the top off a Coors Banquet. What is in your glass?? LOL

    Guy, advice on???

    Timing?
    Cooker?

    I'll take a shot:

    If you dont have racks use bambo skewers to make them stand 3 per rack in the WSM. ( I'll explain if needed)

    Have them on the hot smoker at 9:00-9:30 am

    Pull them and wrap them in foil at 1:00-1:30pm

    Cambro/Cooler Till you serve or sauce on the gasser or kettle.

      How can I get that many slabs on my equipment? Jon do you have a PBC?

          I use a 18.5 WSM


          Standby I'll draw a pic

          Give them 4hours at 225, you can wrap and hold them in the cooler for 3-4 hours BUT they will be fall off the bone in a few hours in there.

          Use the skewer to stand 3 racks on their sides

            Or you can do the ring thing, this pic has to be a 22" but you get the idea. I dont like the roll up way as much but it is an option.

              I do 3 racks on a level but I use rib racks to do it. I did skewers before I had racks. I regularly do 6 racks per cook. I always budget 4 hours BUT mine are going to hold in the cooler for at least 2 hours before serving. They are always done when I wrap them in 4-41/2 hours

            So which grate do you use? Top, bottom of both? I am planning to start at 6:00 am and have a hot smoker by 7:00 at the latest.

                Jon, what kind of fire do you start in your WSM? Soo donut, Pyramid or fuse? Don't you wish you had a PBC??

                  3 racks on top grate

                  3 rakes on bottom grate.

                  It you put them on a 7:00am I predicate that will be done by 11:00-12:00

                  I alway budget 4 hours at 225.

                    You will need to trim the two outside a bit rack of ribs a bit shorter to fit in the smoker

                  I have one set of rib racks so I am good for one level.

                        Hey, Guy and Jon, I have the 22.5 WSM. I've been cutting my ribs in half as they don't quite fit on my 22.5. How do you fit yours? Also, I smoke them for 3+, crutch them in foil with a bit of apple juice (I also use apple wood chips) for 2- hours, then back to smoking in the rib rack for about an hour to firm up the bark. (321 method). Good luck, and please let us know how they turn out.
