Upside-down ribs

Tiger Tom

I recently had ribs at a small joint down here in Texas, and they were superb. I spoke with the chef and he told me he cooked his ribs meat-side down.

Anyone familiar with this method?

What type of cooker was he using?

Tiger Tom

He used a big commercial pit. I'm wondering if he cooked them that way over an open fire--i.e., without a plate warmer or other intervening device.

someone else posted that Moe Casson does the same.

I use to do meat down in the oven when wrapped in foil but never tried on the egg.  Look forward to more responses

Ok, homework for everyone.  Cook two racks of ribs this weekend, one up, one down.  Everything else the same.

Best. School. Assignment. Ever.

I think you should put two in a rack as well. Have the bone sides face each other. 4 racks. Now that is homework worth doing.
Also, must be graded after swilling bourbon for the entire cook.
Raise your hand if you are good with this.
