I decide to try making direct heat ribs this past weekend.
I fired up the wsm with some old unlit charcoal in the bottom and a fresh chimney of lump charcoal over that. I took out the water pan and cooked on the bottom grate.
WSM fired up.
Made up a mop sauce based on Tootsie's recipe.
Ribs cooking on the wsm. I used the trimming to make some snacks for the dogs. After cooking the ribs face up for about an hour I flipped them over and mopped every 15 to 20 minutes. After another hour face down I put them back face up for about 30 more minutes an continued mopping.
Finished ribs.
Sliced
Another sliced shot
Plated with some coleslaw.
These ribs turned out amazing. I love that direct heat flavor that's unlike anything else. Thanks for looking!
