Make Room for More Ribs

I had a party recently with over 20 people coming and I was making Baby Back Ribs. I had no idea how I was going to cook all of those ribs until I found a video on YouTube.com. I couldn't believe I didn't think of this idea myself, but it is awesome and the ribs still cook to perfection.
By the way I don't know how some of you do it, but at 225-250 the longest I can cook my ribs is 2 1/2 hours, so 4 hour people amaze me.
I used the world famous "The Salt Lick" rub on the ribs and let them get to room temp. Then I roll the ribs and stick a skewer through it to hold the full rack in place. I then placed the ribs in the XL BGE with the fatty end up at 225-250. After approximately 1 1/2 hours give a peek. Then with 20 minutes left I take them out and baste them with "Sweet Baby Rays" bbq sauce. I then roll them back up and place them back on the grill in the same fashion. This is all obviously done over indirect heat. We love this sauce by the way. The only thing we don't like about it is the first ingredient is High Fructose Corn Syrup. I also do a couple racks with just rub for variety.
These ribs are the easy way to cook'em and they taste awesome. I also found a large pizza pan wrapped in foil makes the perfect drip pan.
If the pictures don't show up, send me a message and I can forward a picture so you can see how to roll the rack of ribs.

Try 5-6 hours.
But I have only cooked a few.

Just a few hahahaha

4 hours is nothing on the eggs. I do large pork cooks lasting 16-18 hours on a single load at 250 degs.
If you are only getting 2.5 hours you need to throw that old DVD away or use it as drink coaster.
Fill your fire box up to the start of the fire ring. Use a good brand of lump and you too can get 20+ hours on a single load.
Listen to Mike. Ribs should be cooked for 5 hours or more at 250. -
you need a photobucket or similar acct to post pics .. we can help you with that

Sounds like it's time to calibrate a temperature gaugeSouth SLO County

Can't see the pics. How many racks was it? I'm 5-1/2 to 6 hours at 230 but I don't go by time, I go by pull back on the bone and the bend test.
Here's 12 on the XL - none touching each other. Four levels with 3 racks on each level.

Sweet baby rays is my favorite sauce. The wife prefers KC masterpiece so I have to sauce hers separately. Use photobucket.com and upload your pictures there and copy and paste them on your post.

where did you get the multiple rack setup? I have an xl and the vendor I use doesn;t have those racks... I would love them...
-
It's homemade. Some 22" racks and nuts and bolts.
Here is the setup: http://www.eggheadforum.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&func=view&id=631328&catid=1 -
I don't think he meant he only gets 2.5 hours on a load of lump, I think he meant that after only 2.5 hours the ribs are done, any longer and the would be overdone.
-
Hey Rod you are absolutely correct. My baby back ribs are done after 2 1/2 hours. I don't know how people can cook them any longer. Here is a link to a website that makes extras for BGE. www.ceramicgrillstore.com There is some pretty cool stuff here.
