Using inverted v rack for ribs

docison · September 2007

Just got my BGE and am going to try ribs today.Do I simply lay the slabs(3) across the v rack or cut them in half and try to stand them on end.Any help or other tips would be greatly appreciated.

docison,[p]If you have a large egg, the three ribs should fit nicely lined up parallel in your inverted rack. Otherwise, just cook them right on the grill without a rack. In my medium egg it's a little tight, but they can be folded on the ends to fit. Good luck

docison,[p]Cut them as needed so they don't rub again the dome as they suposed to stand on end when using that v-rack inverted. Some recommend NOT cutting the meat for juice/retention purposes, and other various reasons. Which would you eat, freshly cut ribs, cooked together, or each 'rib' cut and cooked seperately?[p]If you can, just keep the slab together, and if the are too long, try to 'wrap them' in a U-shaped pattern to fit the grid.[p]Keep in mind that you don't have to use the v-rack. You can simply throw them on grid, flat, then flip 'em.[p]I'm still a newbie, so these are just my recommendations...[p]-Jeeves

docison,[p]I would highly recommend NOT cutting the ribs if at all possible. If you have 3 slabs or less you can easily do them right on the grate and not worry with the v-rack. Otherwise, just bend them so they all fit in the rack.[p]Either way you're in for a great lunch/dinner. Enjoy!

<p />docison,
i started these in a v-rack, then went to two grids laying flat.

Rick's Tropical Delight,[p]Now THAT's production! Great looking food. What does the top rack rest on? I can't make out anything on the lower rack that would receive the top rack. Do they just rest on each other?

<p />DynaGreaseball,
thanks, mon!
the grid on the bottom has two handles that hold the top grip off the ribs... i switched their positions for a bit and just laid the one with the handles on top of the ribs on the bottom rack, then i switched it back. these had some apple juice squirted on them then blues hog bbq sauce at the end.
