Babybacks on the WSM 14.5

[Vaughan]

These guys were excellent. The back half are dry. The front are wet. Cowboy Briquettes and Hickory. As usual, the WSM was set it and forget it. The WSM almost makes it too easy.

Thanks for asking. I used the attached charcoal holder sightly rounded with a small amount of paraffin at the top covered with 2 or 3 briquettes. I use 4 or 5 two inch square chunks of hickory. I let this burn while I prep the ribs. Once the ribs are prepped I put then in the smoker. I run the WSM at 250 degrees. I did these about 4 1/2 hours. I do not wrap my ribs and I do not use a water pan. I have a Hunsaker Vortex plate. I use Weber KC Rub with a good coat of brown sugar.

Hope this helps.

Thanx heaps and I also have the Hunsaker Vortex Plate for my WSM “Classic”. Where did you obtain that nifty charcoal holder? It’s probably too small for for a WSM 18”??

Amazon. You can Google this on Amazon. They have this as well as others. Mine is heavy duty stainless steel and works wonderfully. No buyers remorse.
