I'm tired of just throwing ribs on the WSM.
What is some of you favorite things to smoke along with ribs that doesn't add a significant longer period of smoking.

Please post some suggestions and if possible how you prep whatever it is you smoke along with the ribs.
 
Rick, OH MY!, I smoke all comp meats, & pork loin, beef short ribs, standing rib roasts,. I would suggest you look at the recipe section of all the major BBQ sites. There are literally hundreds of ideas on meats to smoke and ways to do it. Of course ribs are good! There is a lesson plan for grilling and smoking offered by John Head out of Denver. In it are exercises you have to cook. Many different meats incl lamb, duck and more I haven't even got to yet. If you are having trouble with ideas or just need a push to make you try some new stuff this might help. You can Google him.

I'm sorry if my post was a bit confusing.

I am aware of the different meats to smoke. I am looking for something to put on the smoker that will smoke at the same temp and close to the same amount of time.

Assuming the ribs will go 5-6 hours at around 250*-275*; what else do you smoke to go along with the ribs that will not add that much more time.

I have done the ABT's but I haven't done the fatty yet.
 
Mike,

I'd consider a chuck roast. Following Kevin's recipe it comes out fantastic. I think you might be able to pull it off in about the same amount of time as foiling is involved. Bump up the heat to speed things up if needed. I've used a cast iron dutch oven and simple foil pans for this. Cover/foil after meat hits 165 and let it go. Since 1st trying this recipe, it is my favorite for chuck.
