    "Touching" Ribs

    thats what I've practiced as well. Been seen a lot of pictures on here to the contrary though.  Would be nice if it didn't matter when doing big cooks.  Sure don't want to test it out though have it go wrong on me.

    "Touching" Ribs

    I've been under the impression that when you cook ribs, you don't want them to overlap because then it will not evenly cook in the covered areas.  But then I see pictures of ribs cooking on here, stacked up and such. What's the deal? Can you "stack" or overlap ribs when you smoke them?  Sorry...

    How much did you charge?  I am thinking about doing something similar to raise funds for my sons Boy Scouts trip.  What all went into the planning there?

    Having a tough time with my ribs

    Thanks guys for all the helpful advice and encouragement. I checked thermometer (have the maverick et732) and both probes read dead on 212.  So I guess the problem is with me and not my equipment. It seems pretty clear to me that I am overcooking the meat.   So here are some questions: When...

    Having a tough time with my ribs

    I haven't.  I bought it new about 4 months ago.  How should I go about checking the accuracy?

    Having a tough time with my ribs

    I keep getting what looks like mushy type ribs. They taste ok, but are not as juicy as I like, and certainly don't have the pretty looking meat with the smoke ring that I want. Before I bought this WSM I used to use my gas grill, and I have to say it would come out better. I don't know what I am...

    cutting a butt in half to smoke

    im just thinking if you got a 8lber, then you cut it in half and cook two 4lbers then you get the same meat, more bark, and half the time.  Right?

    cutting a butt in half to smoke

    How come this isn't a very common approach?  I would think that it would greatly decrease the time of cook, but I haven't read anything on here about people taking this approach.  Is there a down side to it?

    THIN KC sauce?

    I am pretty new to bbq and have been trying various sauces. I really like the KC flavor of sweet and spice. However, most are too thick for my preference. How can I best dilute them to a more thinner sauce? Or perhaps a recipe that carries the flavor of a KC but is thinner?

    First butt help...

    Here is the cook.  It took 16 hours for a 8lb butt, which I didn't really expect.  But that is when it hit 190.  It was close to 9:30 pm and was late so I didn't really get to wrap it for a couple hours and let it settle like I ought to have, instead I let it settle with foil for about a half...
