Happy Independence Day to all
I have a LBGE plate setter legs up, dome temp 225
I'm cooking 2 slabs of spare ribs cut in half
Question is, cook em flat stacked or in racks?
I appreciate any feedback

Flat.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

I don't have the raised grid ok to lay them on top of each other?

I'm all in for flat (bone side down) if you can get it-but if quantity rules then racked works-I would flip the racks at around 2 hours in. BTW-225*F on the dome is quite low for any cook. Initially the dome to cooking grid off-set can run 20-40*F with the dome hotter than the cooking surface (indirect set-up).You may want to dial it up to around 250-260*F (on the calibrated (key word)) dome as the BGE seems to settle in quite well at that temp. Just an opinion and we all know what those are worth. Happy Birthday USA!Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

@Mickey-Lesson relearned-always have sufficient quantities of adult supervisory beverages in-hand before approaching or messing with a BGE. Then manage the restock effort to ensure you never hit the "low-level alarm". Happy Birthday USA!Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.

@SGH - didn't you do some Ultra-Turbo ribs a couple weeks ago at 600? Starting a new trend here...Santa Paula, CA

I did my friend. But they were small loin cut country style ribs. I wouldn't attempt that temp with baby backs or spares.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
I got a medium egg so I rack em. Here is a pic of 5 full slabs of St. Louis style ribs I got on my medium egg. Have to get creative some times.

There are many ways to cook ribs and here is my method on my XL, My wife likes Baby Backs so guess which one I cook, yep I buy the biggest 3 pack from Sams and lay them Flat meat side up doing 3-2-1 HOWEVER when I can I do the 3-2 method the day before and leave them in the foil and put them in the fridge over night and finish them the next day or when ever I plan on eating them then put them on a stable 350/375 dome for a half hour than un wrap them and finish/flip until I'm a hero, dry or wet they always come out GREAT. Just my 2 cents!
