Am planning on doing a BB rib smoke today. First time on ribs. I have a WSM and am wondering if the 2-2-1 and wrapping type of process is really all that necessary. I like my ribs dry, am lazy, and have learned to not open my smoker when cooking so really do not want to futz with them as much as possible. What say you all of the delicious looking food?
 
I'm with you. I've always done the 2-2-1 way with wrapping, but next time I'll just do it without wrapping. I'll just leave them untouched until they're done.
 
Here's the smoked Mac n cheese recipe that finsfan posted. My German friends literally destroyed the pan....

This recipe you speak of, happened to have a post number for that one? You all got me really curious on the smoked mac and cheese and fatties. Not that much blood pressure isn't already high enough. :mug:

IMO, I would have taken it off sooner than 1 hour. I used apple wood and 1 hour was just a smudge too much, but like I said, my German friends loved it. Each one had thirds.

I have always done the 2-2-1 method, never tried it without wrapping them. I have found that I really do a 2-1.5-until they look good for baby backs. 2 hrs wrapped is a touch too much in my opinion.

Try it! Let us know how it turns out.

Well. They are great. I will say that much.
I had some trouble, my temp probe was all over the place. 4 hours where temps went high for a bit and still couldn't get them right. Tented with apfelwein for an hour. And it ended up pretty tasty.

I did some wings, beans, and ribs today but I failed to capture the picture on the smoker. *fail*

I did mesquite and pecan on my UDS. Even though I missed the before pic, I did capture an after. ...

I made two racks of baby-back ribs on Saturday on the WSM. It was my first time ever doing ribs and they turned out fantastic. They were very easy to do. I made a basic rub and brushed on apple juice every 45 - 60 minutes for a total cook time of 4 hours. Wife really enjoyed these much more than the chicken last weekend, and I have to agree. Next up is stuffed tenderloin if I can find it on sale for a decent price...

You might consider rolling the full rack in a ring, like this. That way you don't need to cut the rack and you can get up to 4 full racks on the bullet.

I used to do that (twice, in fact) until I manned-up and got myself a rib rack. There's no going back once you have one.
 
Holy cow bama, nice job. I've never tried the sausage stuffer attachment for my kitchenaid. Looks like you made it work.

Were'd you get that rack for the smoker? I like it.

Thanks

I got the Expandable Smoking Rack from Amazon.
