I would like to do a couple of slabs of ribs on the small.  Does anyone have any set-up advice to get 'er done?

    When you figure that out please post.
    When in doubt add more pepper.

    I've done three racks of ribs, cut in half, and stacked in alternating directions, on top each other. I used a Woo and foil-covered pizza stone, to create an indirect setup.

    I cooked them at 250, with apple wood for smoke, rotating the stacks about every 1-1.5 hours, for a total of 5.5 hours time. They get a bit slippery as the fat starts rendering, and want to slide off of the stack. The stick you see, coming up through the stack, is a broken off bamboo skewer, to keep everything in place.

    I cooked 3 racks cut in half before with using the V rack and stacking how I could to make it work. They turned out really good!! 
  • I haven't paid much attention to the V rack.  The one I have for my large does not fit in the small.  I guess I didn't think that there are other V racks that DO fit.  (sigh!)  Looks like a shopping trip is needed!
