Carwash Mikes ish

I decided to sort of try the Carwash Mike's method...but not exactly as described.
I got a 3-pack of baby backs at Costco yesterday. I half-prepped them last night (coated with mustard/ketchup/worcestershire mix) and wrapped them up.
Today, I got the fire going, dropped in a few chunks of apple and cherry, plate setter legs up, grid, and inverted v-rack. I sprinked the ribs with my dry rub, and put them in the egg, which had been going a little more than 30 minutes and was at about 250F. Adding the cold ribs brought it down to 220F, but I left it alone and it came back up to 250F after a while.
I misted them with 50:50 apple cider / apple cider vinegar at the 1hr and 2hr marks. I'm not using a drip pan.
I'm hoping the slightly higher heat will speed things up just a little, because I didn't get them started til around 2pm.

I was just thinking that. They're nearly done now...doing the finish.

These were actually really good. At least as good as any ribs I've done on the egg, turbo or slow.
I was in such a hurry, unlike most low & slows, I didn't keep any notes, but did follow the recipe pretty closely except as already noted.
The outside picture kind of sucks...it was getting dark.
I made too many fries too...or enough for leftovers since we ate less than 1/3 of the ribs.

Looks great! I did the exact recipe a couple of weeks ago for the first time and loved them, I think Carwash Mike would be proud. Great leftovers for you this week!Large & Small BGE, CGW Two-Tier Swing Rack for BOTH EGGS, Spider for the Wok, eggCARTen & and Cedar Pergola my Eggs call home in Edmond, OK.

Night one they were excellent. I warmed some up tonight in the microwave and was not as happy...starting to dry out. I'm thinking for the final night tomorrow, brush on some more sauce, seal in foil, and put in a 350F oven for 30-60 min.

One other problem I noticed with cooking full slabs of ribs (I'd always cut them in half and done them standing up in a rib rack previously) is that the bits that overhung beyond the plate setter seemed to get a little overheated. I guess I should have put down some folded HDAF on the grid as a buffer in those areas?

That is why @tjv from CGS made the oval stone setup for the adjustable rig. If ribs are a normal cook for you this setup is nice.njl said:One other problem I noticed with cooking full slabs of ribs (I'd always cut them in half and done them standing up in a rib rack previously) is that the bits that overhung beyond the plate setter seemed to get a little overheated.
