    Details?  They sure look good.

    Sure.  From Maryland and I get my ribs from Costco.  They come in a pack of 3 slabs already St L style.  Rubbed with Jacks Stack meat and poultry rub and the other two with Kansas City Championship rub.  Used Royal oak with hickory chunks, about 4 chunks, smaller than an adult fist.  Water pan, smoked for 4.5-5 hours.  They look better than the final result.  Rookie mistake, ribs to close to the water pan so it steamed while smoking.  Ribs had no pull and some were mushy.  They tasted excellent but not the texture I wanted.  My fault, should have known better.

    Look fantastic.

    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.

    You don't need the water in the egg. Try without next time and I'll bet you get better texture. 

    They look fantastic!

    Great looking cook. As above, no need for the water pan but do use a drip pan air-gapped off the platesetter to reduce burnt offerings. FWIW-

    @theyolksonyou is right, go without water.  You will be impressed with the results.

    Sounds like the consensus may be to go without the water pan...  I learned to smoke pork ribs on my weber smokinator which required water..  Then after getting the BGE continued to use water because of habit.  will have to try the next batch without the water.

    Thanks for all the compliments. I will definitely try without a water pan next time.
