I had the opportunity to eat ribs that were cooked by a good friend @ roughly 225-250 and they were amazing. I don't remember the cook time, but the texture was perfect. I had always done 275-300 for my spare ribs and I've had trouble with overcooking. It was hard to nail the right cook times...

Looking to cook the ribs at around 275, using a 2-1.25-.25 method. Should I put the chicken on the bottom rack when I wrap the ribs? Or should I just cook them entirely separately? What about the water pan during all of this? I usually cook my chicken without the water pan, but I usually cook...

How many briquettes (lit and unlit) for a short cook do you usually use, say for ribs or chicken? .. given stable parameters such as a mild day with little wind, and the latest briquette formula (18 lb bag). I read somewhere someone suggested X number of briquettes he used for ribs, but I...

I once saw the 18.5" go on sale for roughly $30 off (i think) last labor day. Does anyone know when it might go on sale again?

Been looking around for a decent pair of heat/fire resistant gloves when I'm handling the wsm/charcoal. Preferably something that covers farther up the hand/wrist and fairly easy to wash? Open to recommendations, Amazon has a bunch but not quite sure what I should avoid.
