Ribs on mini

Despite the size of the mini, has anyone cooked ribs on the mini for a low and slow? I have been trying to fabricate my own set up for indirect and a 2 tier set up, but I'm getting impatient, so I will probably buy the mini WOO from ceramic grill store. I realize that I will have to cut the ribs into 2 or maybe 3 sections. My main question if anyone has done this is how do you maintain temp of the egg when you put a cold piece of meat on for an extended amount of time, or do you kind of guess??? It seems that everytime I put meet on and the dome reads 400 then it drops the temp to around 300ish for the rest of the cook. Obviously, I don't have to worry about that with my large. Thx in advance for the input. :)

    what about using toothpicks to seperate them in a multi tier? (obviously after an indirect barrier below)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Are you cooking them on the mini because you need portability? Just a thought, but what about pre-cooking them on the large, and then just using the mini to reheat and finish?

    ...unless of course you just want to do a low n slow on the mini for the sport of it ;).

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I will be traveling a lot and won't be able to take both of my eggs, so I would not be able to cook them on the large before the mini :( Really just wanted to see if anyone has done it and how hard/easy it was.

    Sounds like the perfect time to get a small! Heck, I managed to pack three full slabs of babybacks on my small ... just cut them in half, stacked them side by side (offsetting each layer 90 degrees), and rotated them throughout the cook.

    Three pieces skewered to keep them somewhat seperated and used my Guru. The adaptor for the SBGE fits the Mini.

    Frank, Is that a pan under the ribs or a homemade platesetter?
    Hope you are looking better. ;)

    That is a homemade platesetter made from 3/4" plate - I tossed it because it radiated too much heat.

    I still look bad but that is normal for me :) Swelling is going down. People kept asking me why I was wearing sunglasses at work - told them it was for their protection. B)
