Being SS it was a pain in the ***. Started with a pilot hole then stepped up every bit up to 1/2 inch. Then I used a step up bit from Harbor Freight to get to 7/8th. 1 hour and 15 minutes of drilling and broke for bits. I finally won though.That's a nice setup you add. Would you mind detailing how you added the temperature gauge? I have a 22.5 and a 18.5 and I find myself using the 18.5 more. Thanks for sharing.
Big advantage for doing Ribs on an 18". I could easily fit 6 full racks in it. Another advantage is cooking time. Only takes around 2 1/2 hours and as far as taste goes it does take on a different flavor. Not a fan of fall off the bone though. By that time you'd probably be fishing then out of the bottom of your cooker.Is the advantage in hanging ribs to be able to cook more slabs at one time? Any difference in flavor, etc? This may be a dumb question but do the ribs ever get so tender they fall off the hooks? Thanks for the info.
Yes they can. To avoid this, daisy chain two hooks together to better support the slab or cut slabs in half.This may be a dumb question but do the ribs ever get so tender they fall off the hooks?
