has anyone tried smoking ribs without the waterpan in. So the ribs would still be at top of smoker as usual but there would be no deflector inbetween ribs and coals? If so how long should ribs take to done with this method? thanks
 
Corey that is the only way i use my wsm without the water pan.
Corey BB takes about 2.5-3.5 hrs at 275-325 temp range without the pan. Spares about 3.5-4 hrs. Only use the top grate without the pan. What i like best there is no hot spots or overdone ends, uses less fuel, easier to control temps, can raise or lower the temp within 5mins max by adjusting the vents.
As for the cooking times Corey it is really up to the individual how he or she likes the finished product.
 
Corey yes i cook brisket without the pan if not doing HH method, have never cooked a pork butt, why i do not know lol.
