• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Has anyone here ever smoked ribs vertically in a WSM? I imagine you could cook twice as many this way. Any suggestions would be appreciated. :mrgreen:
 
I've just had my WSM a short time and did do a vertical cook with some ribs. The thing is that they weren't hanging. Got the rib racks at Lowes by a recomendation from the forum.

You can roll them up long ways and push skewers through them to hold them together.

Just wondering, how does rolling them affect the smoke penetration/flavor?

From the look of BigDawg's rolled ribs, I would say no effect. Looks like plenty of space for smoky goodness to form.

But if you are one to wrap your ribs in foil during your process, the rolled racks are nearly impossible to wrap properly without ripping the chit out of the foil

For my WSM, I recently bent the ends of two seperate rib racks to fit inside the lid.

instead of skewers, you can use string. you know, the type that's used for roast and stuff of that nature
 
Thank You

I just made my first set of ribs on the WSM and used this rolled method and it worked like a charm.
 
WOW Skidder, how did that work out for ya? How did it burn? I have 2 18s and I want to run home and try it!
 
You didn't specify what size WSM you have.

Roll dem bones if'n you got an 18" WSM!

Or a Rib rack- this is a SS Raichlen and it'll hold 4 racks (ends trimmed)

Either way, I finish them off stacked on the grate.

Bill is on it when he mentiond them tearing if you skewer and plan to foil so don't overcook to that point. We've got 22" WSM's now and those are the rib cookers for comps.
