Had some free time so I threw some ribs on the mini. I miss my large but the mini is so much fun, gets up to temp quick and holds temp relatively well. Enjoy.

    I've ordered the mini plate setter and cast iron grid. Thoughts on the CGS raised grid? I love the mini!! Price just went up to about $450 though...

    i have the mini woo. I like it alot. The one downside is the gap between my stone for indirect (ordered the pack of two from Amazon) and the grid is very narrow, which leads to some of the fat that drips burning. I ruined a boston butt this way. I had a plate setter in my large and like the woo much better.

    Why did you get rid of the Large?  Looks great by the way!

    I moved and orphaned it at my in-laws. Poor egg.

    WC1 -  ribs look great and are a new idea for my somewhat new Mini. One question.....looks like you have a cork spacer underneath the thermometer. Are you using a 5" thermometer plus the spacer in order to get a better temp than the 2.5"?

    Thanks

    Have been weighing mini vs small for the new addition to the family...and I wasn't sure ribs would be able to fit.  Great post.  Thanks!

    @WC1 forgot to ask about your setup; this that a mini woo with 8.5" stone for your indirect piece?

    Spring- my thermometer has a 3.25" stem, the cork was cut to just allow the slit in the stem in the top of the dome. Crisp- yes that is the mini woo with the a 8.5" stone. Go get a mini you will love it. I thought it was gimmicky at first but I was wrong.

    Did 2 full racks one at a time today on the mini. Left the other ones wrapped and warm during 2nd rack cook.
    All went well, turbo'd em a bit so texture on 2nd was not as tender as 1st off the mini and warmed for a while.
    I cut my racks in half and stood them up against one another.

    Alright Skinny, now you got me thinking, how can I fit two whole racks on the mini at the same time. Maybe concentric circles?
