Ribs on a Weber…….Genesis ii???

[SirPorkaLot]

So….
I got drafted into a rib cook-off here locally. They said we will supply you a Weber to cook on..
I was like yes!
Thinking to my self that, I have done well in rib cook-offs using my kettle.

So I agree and sign up. Get to reading the rules in detail… they are supplying each contestant with a Weber Genesis ii, which is a *gasp* gas grill.

Rut roh..talk about a fish out of water….

I mean I assume I can get it to hold something close to a steady temp…
but what about smoke?
Is there even room on one of these to do an indirect cook??

Any words of wisdom?

Play around with the burners. Start with turning the middle one off and the outer 2 on medium heat and work from there. Maybe shut off the front to burners and leave the back one going. Just have to get it to where you want it. Also like he said get the color you want and wrap.

John,


Do you know how many burners the grill has? You could try something like I used to use many years ago to rave reviews that will put way more smoke flavor than foil pouches or smoker boxes:

Or....just get the water boiling on one side of burners, drop the ribs in and add the liquid smoke:laugh:
You can certainly figure this out with your skill and knowledge.

Pics of me cooking ribs on a gas grill???

Seems too easy to get blackmailed like that

Will they let you remove a burner and build a little wood fire in one corner of the gasser?:-D

Sounds fun. Good luck

Do you think they'd object if you loaded one side with lump charcoal?

PM or call if you have any questions, John. Depending on which Genesis ii, you should have 3 burners to work with, possibly 4, so that's a plus.

Back in the day, did some pretty good ones on gassers (obviously doesn't compare to smoking or charcoal). I put the cooker on 200-225* cook them low and the wrap in foil.
