Hanging Ribs

[Jim Lampe]

Seasoned up a rack of baby backs with Penzey's BBQ3000, Galena Street and Pig Salt's SW BBQ Rub

fired up a 22"OTG with Kingsford and apple wood for smoke...
brought out the Gary's Smoke Rack Hanging System, cut the rack in half, hooked'em an' hung'em.

using this on a kettle, you need to employ the lid from a 22" WSM , so I did.

saw some guy selling a piece of wood with an eyehook on it for 8 bucks...
you use this device to remove your hooked food from the hanging system.
So, I made my own.

works great. Anyway, back to the ribs...

added a few fingerling taters and George's favourite veggies to the dinner plate...

...and a pool of sauce for whatever.
glad you stopped by, enjoy your evening.

I like the bark on the ribs. I'll have to try hanging ribs.

Nice bark on the ribs Jim.
Cool way to do the hanging ribs on the weber.

Jim nice cook. Reminds me of a Clint Eastwood movie for some reason

 

[Mildo]

So, this combo first for me - cover from 22 WSM on OTG. Cool idea, dude.
Beautiful ribs Jim, as always (vertical or horizontal)

Jim do you notice any difference in times, temps, or moisture by hanging the ribs? Any differences at all?

Thanks!

The more that I think of it the better this tool would be with a bottle opener on the opposite end?
