Hello, first post here. I'm trying to improve the tenderness and also greatly increase the intensity of smoke flavor in my baby back ribs. Tomorrow, I'm going to try running two 12" pellet tubes at once (in a gas grill), with the Pit Boss Charcoal Blend pellets I just purchased after seeing positive reports here and also on some YouTube BBQ channels. Previously, I've been using Traeger Signature Blend pellets with the single tube.
This will be my first time running two tubes, and also the first time with these pellets. My question is about the need for water in my drip tray, which I haven't done before. My last couple racks came out tasty, but on the tough side. I spray with apple cider vinegar every 45 min, but it's not doing the trick, so I'm thinking I might need more moisture in there.
So, water in drip tray, water in a metal bowl somewhere else, or not at all?
Thanks for the advice!
