Asked about running a wsm with no water the other day. I found a clay pot that fits nicely in the pan, wrapped both with heavy foil.

Half of a post oak log.

Just wrapped the racks with some apple juice.

This all worked great, I noticed the temp ran a little higher at the same setting and the bark was a lot better. I’m going to try a pork shoulder and a brisket with no water next. :wsm:
 
I think it's pretty cool. Curious how much propane it takes vs. charcoal. Definitely seems easy to control though. Thanks for posting your results.
 
Nothing wrong using propane, it's all about the results, Looks like you nailed it on those ribs! Great job!!!
 
Holy cow!!! The color on this ribs is AMAZING!!! I’ll take a rack or two...or three..
Great job,
Tim
 
and not surprisingly, clean up this morning with no water is a lot easier too. :)

I'm definitely doing this going forward, probably a pork shoulder next.

Great color on the ribs, what was your rub and sauce ?

The one at the bottom had a bottle of the mccormack's cajun seasoning and the top one was a non-spicy spog and Todd's Dirt. Both wrapped with apple juice, and then brushed with a little sweet baby rays for the last hour.


I think no water helped the bark, but the temp ran bit higher too.
