[Carl H.]

Can you fit 8 racks of St Louis spares on the 18.5 WSM without having to rotate?

do you sauce those and then roll them back up?

 

[Gary S]

No Mike I have done them two ways. Dry rub which I prefer so they are cooked this way from beginning to end or I will take them off after about 3 hours, cut them in half usually, sauce them and foil them. Then I load them back in the smoker in no particular order and cook them for about another hour and a half approx., take them back out and put them back for in for about 20 minutes . I find 3-2-1 is more time than I need. I also prefer my ribs done over water.

 

[Carl H.]

Thanks, Gary. That's going to be my exact plan. Except for the water.

 

[Gary S]

Water is simply a matter of preference. Good luck and post some pics.
