Tried Ribs a Different Way

Happy Hapgood · Sep 28, 2014

Just acouple of pics but I've been using water in my WSM for about 4 years. Have done some smokes with just foil lined pan and no water during the winter but not many.

Today went with foil lined pan with an OAT of 85*F. Ran two racks of St. Louis style ribs for 3 hours with KBB & hickory wood @ approx. 280*F grill level. Foiled for 1 1/2 hour with butter, brown sugar and a scoach of water.
Rested the racks about 30 mins. I've been told they were my best ones yet. Seems no end to doing ribs a different way. No sauce used or wanted with these. I'll experiment with this method for the next few smokes.

No end to learning and Thanks for Lookin'. :becky:

Thanks! The change was no water in the pan at higher OAT. During colder temps, no water needed. Hotter OATs no real temp control other than vents on a WSM.

Yes Sir. A little Kosher salt and then Simply Marvelous Pecan Rub. Trimmed the back flap and pulled the membrane.

I'm in northwest Louisiana. 3 years ago we did not get above freezing for about 2 weeks if memory serves and lows in the teens for about the same amount of time. Plumbers made a killin' once the thaw hit. :tsk: Then we can hit 96*F with 70% humidity which I'd trade in a second with 120 in the high dry dessert. I recon every place has their own cross to bear. :becky:
