Well, I guess this the way to break in a new kettle. This is the second cook.
Homemade smokenator from cutup foil pan, and kettle set up for indirect.

Lighting a few stubb's - found a use for my mom's charbroil.

Never cooked this many ribs on a standard kettle - if I was home, I would use the 22 WSM.
You forget how versatile the standard kettle is when you have a WSM.
Is that a Weber rib rack?

No, it is an off-brand SS rack from lowes. It is one of those that you can flip and use as a roasting rack.
Cool. What did that run you?

It was like 12-13 bucks. I found it on another website(see pic below). It didn't come up in a search on lowes app.

Ribs came out great. Everyone liked them. Not my best but pretty good.

I used Magic Dust as the rub (made from Walmart brand spices) and one chunk of apple.
Looks like Oh-Meat-Thirty (0-meat-:30), or however you spell that to me.....
Nice, nice cookup, packing them all in !!!!
I'm gonna show people those pics when they start whinin' about havin' a hard time squeezing on more than one flat......
Looks super. Did you find the ribs closest to the fuel cooked faster?
that is simply inspirational.
Brilliant work. They look great.
Can I ask if you rotated the position of the ribs through the cook or did you just leave them where they were?

Yes, the ones closest to the coals and the farthest seem to cook The fastest. I flipped/changed their position 3 times during the cook to help them cook evenly. I took them all off at the same time.
I was nervous doing this many, but they came out pretty tasty. The key to doing this is making a heat deflector/coal partition out of a tin pan. The temp was rock solid around 250 or so at the dome. They took around 4.5 hours. That is when they passed the bend test.

Hi Ken,
Yes I did rotate - see previous post for more details. I did have to baby it a little more than the WSM but not too much to be annoying.
The rest of the family had a nice array of sides - baked beans, coleslaw, fried okra, and homemade ice cream for desert. A good ole Okie meal :)

Great job. I haven't done that many on a kettle but the challenge inspires me to try. It is like fishing in a way. A " great but not my best run of ribs" is better than any day of work. O0
