Hangin Meat?

[bigdogphin]

Anyone here hang meat or familiar with the technique in a smoker?

I have come across a large tank that I was thinking this might be the way to go. I just have no idea how to go about this type of cooking.(pics later)

Only thing i've seen in regards to hanging meat is the Orion Cooker and hanging ribs. I thought about building the feature into my UDS and using a dome lid, should be able to accomdate about 9 racks of ribs, three per hanger. Just a thought tho.

I've seen some walk-in smokers in which the meat is hung from special hooks...the restaurants that use them keep them smokin' 24/7 and rotate meats in and out all the time -

I know the Wham Cookers work on pellets, wood , or charcoal and the meat is hung in the smoker check it out

You mean like this? For some reason hanging is my preferred method.

I have a hanging rack for my BDS, until now I've just done jerky and sausage.....but I'd love to try ribs or even a brisket.

Yes like this. I know John Willingham and Paul Kirk hang meat.

I want to know how the meat doesnt fall of the hooks as it gets closer to being done? Also, Does the bottom of the meat(closest to the fire) get done first? Mopping technique?

[smooookin]

No mops here and i can honestly say I have dropped very pieces. When I made my hooks I made them so they would go deep and come all the way through so I could get them to "grip" the meat. On the rare occasion something does fall, I have installed a grate to act as a catchers mitt.
