    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    I’m getting that it’s a personal preference at this point, which suggests that a water pan isn’t why my ribs are taking so long.

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    It seems like what ever you’re doing is working but I’d be interested in hearing how it goes without the pan. What are you cooking on?

    Do you use a water pan?

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    I understand that there are a bunch of ways to make ribs but everything I’ve read and seen has suggested using a water pan. I’m willing to try it without. Do you not use a water pan with any kind of meat or just ribs?

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    Yeah, I’m seeing lots of different opinions. Evidently, I found the only wrong way to cook ribs.

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    I'm open to any and all suggestions so I plan on giving it a go next chance I get. I have a pretty small cooker so I suppose you may be onto something with the effect the water pan is having.

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    Yes, there is a convection plate in the chamber. I have a small loaf size water pan that I keep adjacent to where the fire box meets the cooking chamber.

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    I'm not sure I'm picking up what you're putting down. Are you saying that having a water pan will only allow the chamber to reach 212, no matter how hot the fire is? And I wasn't under the impression the water pans do anything for meat moistness, I understood it to create a better environment...

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    I do keep a probe in the ribs. To me, it seems like it stalls around 160 or so. It just hangs there slowly inching up for hours. Initially, things go great for the first 3 -4 hours but then things just come to a screeching halt.

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    Yeah, I think I'll give it a shot. Not sure why I haven't tried it yet to be honest.

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    Thanks for sharing your similar experience. And to be honest, everything else I've smoked has gone as I believe it should. It's just the ribs that are messing with me.

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    It's def spareribs. And from what I've read, it seems like what I'm dealing with is a stall. Around 160 or so, the temp just stops going up and even drops a degree or 2. It will VERY slowly climb but it takes hours. But, they usually get up to 150 within 3 hours or so.

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    Yeah, I'm 110% sure that these are spareribs. I don't spritz since I'm worried that will extend cooking times even longer and the only time I open the top is to make sure the water pan has water in it, maybe 2-3 times throughout the cook.

    What temp are you pulling them off at?

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    Is there a way to test for airflow? I keep the door wide open and the vent on the stack wide open too.

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    That’s what I keep hearing. I use a thermapro with 2 probes.

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    I use a thermapro with 2 probes. Things seem to go fine until I hit the stall and then it just crawls along.

    Are my spareribs taking too long to cook?

    Hey all, So my spareribs take on average 11 hours to cook. I've tried different methods (wrapping, not wrapping, spritzing, not spritzing). Lately, I've been liking the no wrap/no spritz flavor the best. But it seems no matter what I change, they still take longer than what most people tell me...
