Hung Ribs in the 22 WSM
« on: September 17, 2017, 06:59:54 PM »
First cook on the WSM I figured I'd try hanging some baby backs. Well I think I started off wrong, using too much lit charcoal. So I was cooking between 325 and 350 the whole time. I didn't use any water pan and just hung them right over the coals. All that being said, the Ribs were done in a little less than 3 hours and they actually turned out really good. The flavor was excellent. I'll cook a little slower next time, but I was very happy with the results. Will definitely continue to hang them.

Those look great. I’ve heard good things about hanging ribs.

Agreed, no water pan or no flavor.

That said, Pit Barrel's run about 300 to 325 so I don't think you did anything wrong here.

Water pan will catch the ribs when they inevitably fall off the hooks. After the first time it happened to me I switched to using the pan always. Also not having the pan in almost guarantees runaway temps....all that air rushing in then the lid comes off.....plus it's mere presence stabilizes temps I figure.

Wouldn't ribs in a rack on the top grate and no water pan be the same as hanging?
