St. Louis and baby back ribs done different ways

[mhiszem]

I am smoking 1 rack of st Louis cut ribs and 1 rack of baby rack. I am using Memphis dust on both. I plan on following Malcom Reeds competition rib recipe for the baby back and Meatheads last meal recipe for the St. Louis. Both racks are seasoned up and ready to go on in a couple hours.

I need to get this 26er cleaned up so I have more space.

These are the finished pictures. They turned out pretty good, my family loved them at least. I had a very difficult time holding temperature with Royal Oak briquettes using the snake method. I ended up switching to my plum SSP with KBB to finish the cook. I haven't used RO very much so I will try again and see if I have similar issues. Has anyone else noticed issues on long cooks using RO briquettes?

Those look good. Hope it was just a fluke with the temp and RO. I'll be doing ribs soon and I'll use RO to compare them to my previous Stubbs cooks. When I get the Chef's Select stuff in I'll grill with them then do a brisket.

Yeah, curious what other people have noticed with RO. A friend of mine had the same experience.

I have had no problem with RO and snake method...temp sits around 275 for the entire cook.  Used RO yesterday and the ribs were done in 5 hrs.....went with 3 hrs unwrapped, 2 hrs wrapped in parchment...they were done at that point, but I left them on longer to crisp them up.  I still had unspent charcoal when finished.

Interesting, I was burning through my RO much quicker then usual. May just be a fluke so I will try again. To be clear I used the RO that was $4 a bag at lowes last week.
