Title: Ribs galore.
Post by: Jules V. on July 06, 2018, 01:18:55 PM
We are having 12 guest for my daughter's birthday party so i figured I'll do 12 ribs, 6 SL and 6 loin back ribs.  Some guests are coming very early and the rest 3-4 hours later so I'll just do a back to back cook. First batch are 2 SL and 3 loin back ribs. The 7 remaining ribs will be on the second batch.  Wish me luck folks.

Thanks for the compliment but i would never consider myself as a grillmaster although i would like to think that i can hang with the casual kettleheads. Oddly enough i don't necessarily eat these things.  Only like to eat it plain with just salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes...no bbq sauce.

I have a very odd crowd so i always prepare twice as much food as necessary since they tend to walk in the house with a ziploc bags in their back pockets. Some like to fill it up before they start eating

I'm with you. 'make it simple' is my method nowadays, too. Meat must taste like meat...

Two observations about cooking all these meats at the same time. First is that liquid on the water pan is totally unnecessary. There's more than enough moisture generated by the meats itself.  Second being that it requires the grill to be preheated at much higher temperature prior to placing the ribs on  the grate. On the the first batch consisting of 5 ribs, i preheated the grill to 300 but the temperature dropped to 220 once the ribs were placed in the grill. It took 35 minutes until it got to my target temperature of 255-260.  On the second batch(6 ribs) I preheated the grill to  325 and was able to get the temperature back up to 255 within 15 minutes of placing the ribs. 
On different note, I've always used pineapple juice, with or without honey when i wrap the ribs.  Only time I've used apple juice  is when I'm out of pineapple juice. Just putting it out there since most folks tend to use apple juice.  So if you're smoking at least 2 ribs, try pineapple juice on one of the ribs so you can compare the difference.  Pineapple adds a bit of tartness to the ribs.

Awesome looking ribs . And I am going to try that pineapple the next time. Sounds good. I am also with ya on not saucing ribs. Sometimes to me sauce is just better on the side !
