I am cooking some ribs tomorrow for some friends. I am using a large gbe. I need some help on temps, how long should I cook them and any other suggestion that might help. I have read some posts but this is the first time I have posted a question on this forum.[p]Thanks in advance for any help.[p]gadawg

    gadawg,[p]I cook my spares at 250 dome temp indirect for about 4 hours
    then wrap in foil for another hour. Then I cut them with a very sharp knife (sharpened by my Sharpmaker) and eat them.[p]I do use a placesetter, rib rack, and drip pan and I never touch them during the first 4 hours.[p]I do pull the membrane, rub with mustard and generously coat with a good rib rub.[p]Good luck. They turn out fantastic!

    Cheers,

    gadawg,[p]I watched the video that came with my egg and some dude cooked baby backs for 2 hours at 350 and they looked great. I just tried tonight it and they were great! Here are the details....[p]I cook them at 350 dome temp indirect for 2 hours 15 minutes[p]I do use a placesetter, rib rack, and drip pan.[p]I do pull the membrane, then rub with yellow mustard and generously coat with a good rib rub. Let them sit in the fridge for a few hours this way before cooking. I also soak some hickory chips and toss them in the egg for flavor. Ribs were falling off the bone. The yellow mustard + rub gave them a great crust.[p]See Steve Raichlen's book the Barbeque Bible for a great rub recipe (called Memphis Dry Rub) - I cut the cayanne in 1/2 - still spicy - but they dont make you cry after each bite.[p]Good luck.

    <p />gadawg,
    I wasn't happy with my ribs until I got a plate setter and started using it. At the same time I started spritzing with apple juice every 20 min during the cook.[p]I cook (on a large) at 240 with a plate setter, drip pan, and rib rack.[p]I remove the membrane, rub with mustard and a basic rub. I don't foil, and eat them dry.[p]Here's a movie I made showing the process.[p]Good luck![p]Chuck
