BB Ribs Recipe- TMI

TigerDunes

I have been reading various recipes for baby back ribs on BGE. Frankly too much information. I don't have plate setter or a rib rack. What do you suggest? First time attempt at baby backs. Thanks for all advice.

Do this the first time, then adjust from there:

• Light egg
  
• Stabilize @ 250
  
• Season ribs
  
• Add wood - I like cherry or oak for ribs
  
• Toss them on the egg
  
• Don't open the egg to check on them!!!
• At 5 hours, do the bend or toothpick test to see if they're done
  

*If you're going to sauce your ribs, do it at the last 30 minutes. 

Good luck!

Do you have a way to cook indirectly?

Rib rack isn't a big thing, if you have enough grid space.  The problem will be no plate setter or indirect piece.  The drippings from the ribs will hit the coals and cause flare-ups.  What you could do is use an aluminum drip pan or a roasting pan on the cooking grid, and then some sort of a rack to elevate the ribs so they aren't sitting in the rendered fat.  Depending on the size of your egg, you could also separate two areas of lump with a drip pan in the firebox, and cook over the drip pan.  

Enjoy!!

May be blasphemous to post this here but without a platesetter or woo (or something to go indirect), you'd be better off cooking ribs on a weber where you can separate your lump into a direct and indirect side.

Just one more thought - if you don't have any way to cook indirect, definitely do not try the turbo method at 350.  That will go downhill very rapidly.

Ya your in a tough spot. I've never tried ribs direct. I'd use as little lump as you can just to keep the lump low. I'm sure you can get creative but it would take at least two grates and a drip pan

there was a recipie and directions to cook direct some time back, i did a search and found an old post from me but i did not find the directions, maybe someone can help with the search terms that would pull it up.

if not it can be done and needs to be around 225 the whole time.. good luck
