WSM 22 vs LBGE and Baby Back vs St. Louis Ribs

[Brett-EDH]

Yeah, didn't do that.

You will next time. Heavy duty foil works best. I usually kept around 5 layers on the bowl. Peel off a few and always had a clean base layer. Cleaned the bowl 2x a year with soap and hot water. Worked well for me.

The cleanup on the BGE will be about 3 mins tomorrow.

I'd like to think the WSM won't take too long, but the water pan looks messy.

Get the water pan cover. A little pricy but worth it in my opinion.

Dinner time. No sauce.

Which one will win?

I think the cake with silver frosting..

Both sets of ribs look awesome...Give grilling the ribs a try on your WSM you will not be disappointed, just remove the water pan, fill your charcoal basket about 1/3 full with unlit charcoal, light 1 full chimney and pour lit coals over unlit coals. Start grilling your ribs, in about 2-2.5hrs ribs will be done with amazing flavor you cannot get from smoking.

I hung mine with no pan last year, then finished in foil with butter and a couple tablespoons of apple juice (1/3 cider vinegar to 2/3 apple juice or cider).

Super tender and moist. My brother complained that they were "too juicy" but that's because he ate about a pound of them and washed it down with a thick milkshake the day after they were made getting a upset stomach as a consequence.

Other than that, got rave reviews all around. May try your technique this year.
