Hi
I was firing up my wsm 18.5 last afternoon for some baby back ribs. This gave me some challenges - I was unable to get the temp over 190 - so I cooked the ribs in the oven the last hour and everything turned out all right although the onions in my beans could have used more heat and time.
I discovered that some water had found it´s way from the pan to the heatbeads so that was a lesson learned.
This was my third cook in the wsm - and I am actually glad that I had some challenges.

I started making some homemade rub:
Then rubbed the ribs:
It was raining so the wsm was put in a rainsafe location:
The ribs cooked for 3 hrs in the wsm and spent an hour at 225 c. in the oven and were ready to be served.
Do not forget the
Thanks for looking.
