As a late birthday present to myself, I bought a Char-Griller Texas Trio. Propane grill, charcoal grill, offset smoker. I am really happy with it because of its flexibility. The grate (quoted as 548sq in) is plenty big enough for 2 entire racks of spare ribs to lie flat.
How I prepared the ribs: removed the silverskin. Seasoned only with salt and pepper (roughly 2:1 salt to pepper). Spritzed with home made cider vinegar. Smoked over pecan, with Royal Oak briquettes instead of lump because I didn't pay attention to the product info
Results: I overshot the temp and landed square in "fall off the bone" instead of "melt in the mouth". I don't care about that for one reason - my wife, who is always "meh" about ribs, *LOVED* these. So fall off the bone it is!
Served to "yum!" and "ooh..." and "yoink!" from my son and wife. Home made whiskey BBQ sauce (added bonus: no added sugar, so keto friendly). And point of pride for me - it may not be clear from the picture, but by damn, I got the smoke ring!
