Hey gang, so we're having a party here in a couple of weeks, and now that some of our friends have tried the ribs from the couple of times I've smoked them, word is getting around, and I'm being asked to do ribs for this party.
I'll be doing 10 racks of baby backs (the Costco Swift Premium 3 packs) on my Rec Tec 680.
So far, I've been using Al's recipe for perfect ribs every time, and it has been very good to me, so I don't plan on changing it.
If you've not tried it (you're missing out, trust me!), it's basically 3 hours un-foiled, foiled for about an hour, and then finished off on a searing hot gasser.
The party starts at 4, and I'd like to start having food ready not too long after people show up.
My plan was to get going around 11:30 or so, thinking it will take longer with the full smoker, and then try to finish them off when people start showing up, finishing off more racks as people go through them.
My question is what to do with the ribs between the time they're done in the smoker and need to go on the gasser?
Should I pull them off the smoker and put them in a cooler with some blankets?
Should I keep them on the smoker but turn the heat down to 180-190 to keep them warm?
Just looking for some advice! You guys really helped me out with figuring out the cook schedule for my pork butt last weekend.
