This is my first attempt at ribs on the BGE. Two racks of baby backs @ 225. Here they are rubbed and ready to go on. Will post pics of final product later.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    I cooked them at 225, with lumps of hickory, indirect (platesetter legs up), with water pan (water, apple juice, apple cider vinegar) for around 4 hours. I sprayed with an apple juice/ACV mix every hour. My guests had something come up that made them later than we expected, so I kept them warm until they were about to arrive. I let the heat get up in the egg, drizzled on some sauce, and let it caramelize on each side.
    They needed an extra hour at 225. Wish I had not taken them off. However, I am still happy with the results!

    Looks good. 225 is usually around 5 hrs..you can always foil them to speed up if needed or cook till you're done and ftc.

    Those look good.

    FWIW, I don't add anything to my drip pan and do not spritz or spray my ribs; just dry rub. They always come out moist and tender.
