    First 2-2-1 baby back ribs, too much for WSM 18.5?

    Thanks for the tips Dave. I did have a problem with the ends of the lower rack getting a little too done. I think it might have also had to do with a couple of flare ups I had that took a few minutes to regulate. I'll try the foil tip next time. Actually another thought I was having was just...

    First 2-2-1 baby back ribs, too much for WSM 18.5?

    So here is what I figured out on my (mostly) 2-2-1 rib cook. 1. 6 racks of baby back is not a problem on the WSM 18.5 inch. 2. Next time I will try to remove the second rack from the smoker to replace the ribs after the foil stage (hard to carefully place them down in there). 3. My rub was...

    Craig - I posted before I saw your response. I think I will try that skewer technique if I can't get them all on flat. Thanks!

    First 2-2-1 baby back ribs, too much for WSM 18.5?

    Thanks guys - sounds like it's a maybe. One last question - what if I use a soaked skewer or toothpick to put the ribs in a V shape and then just overlap them a little bit in the foil stage?  If not I'll just toss two racks in the freezer!

    First 2-2-1 baby back ribs, too much for WSM 18.5?

    Hi all - long time lurker here. Love all the articles and helpful tips on the forum. So I finally got a day off work tomorrow and in a rash moment bought 6 racks of baby back ribs for the family plus leftovers. I'll be using a borrowed WSM 18.5 smoker. I put together a dry rub with brown sugar...
